Khalid Latif (Urdu: خالد لطیف; born 4 November 1985) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played as an opening batsman in international cricket for Pakistan. A right-handed opening batsman, he captained Pakistan during the country's 2004 Under-19 Cricket World Cup win and the 2010 Asian Games bronze medal win.

In February 2017, the Pakistan Cricket Board suspended Latif over his suspected involvement in the 2017 Pakistan Super League spot-fixing scandal.[1] In September, he was banned from playing cricket for five years and fined ₨. 1 million for his involvement in the corruption case.[2]

In September 2023, a court in the Netherlands convicted Latif of attempting to provoke the murder of Dutch politician Geert Wilders, and sentenced him to 12 years in prison.[3][4]
