Lieutenant General Habibullah Khan Khattak, also known as Muhammad Habibullah Khan (17 October 1913 – 1994), was a Pakistani Army officer born in Wana, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

He was the son of Khan Bahadur Kuli Khan Khattak, and the younger brother of former Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Aslam Khattak and older brother of former Federal Minister Yusuf Khattak and Begum Kulsum Saifullah Khan.[1]

His son Ali Kuli Khan Khattak also rose to the rank of lieutenant general and retired as the Chief of General Staff (CGS) in 1998. His son, like him, belonged to the famed Baloch Regiment.
