Khalid Qureshi (born 12 February 1928) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1949 to 1966. He toured India in 1952-53 with the Pakistan team but did not play Test cricket.

A left-arm spinner, Qureshi made his first-class debut in two matches for Pakistan in 1949-50, against Commonwealth XI and Ceylon. He toured India with Pakistan's first touring team in 1952-53 and played in six of the first-class matches, taking 17 wickets at an average of 28.23.[1] He played as a professional for Lowerhouse in the Lancashire League in 1954 and 1955, taking in all 100 wickets at 13.25.[2][3]

In the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy in 1956-57 he took 6 for 18 and 6 for 61 to give Punjab an innings victory over Bahawalpur.[4] He also took five wickets in the final, which Punjab won. In 1959-60, opening the bowling for Lahore and bowling 24 overs unchanged, he took 8 for 24 against Railways.[5] The next season, captaining Lahore in the Ayub Trophy, he took 9 for 28 in the first innings against Lahore Education Board.[6] These were record bowling figures for Pakistan cricket until Ahad Khan took 9 for 7 in 1964-65.[7]

His father, Amjad Qureshi, and two brothers also played first-class cricket.
