Syed Fasihuddin (born in Delhi, 18 September 1938) is a former cricketer who played first-class cricket for several teams in Pakistan between 1957-58 and 1974-75, and toured England in 1967 but did not play Test cricket.
A wicket-keeper who usually opened the batting, Fasihuddin made his first-class debut for Karachi B in 1957-58. Playing for Karachi University against Punjab University in the final of the first-class Inter-Universities Championship in 1958-59, he batted for 607 minutes to score 195 and help his team to an innings victory. A few weeks later he kept wicket and opened the batting for a President's XI against the visiting West Indians. He was in the Karachi team that won the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy in 1959-60, and in the combined Railways and Quetta team that won the Ayub Trophy in 1960-61.
He hit 147 for the Pakistan Eaglets against the visiting Associated Cement Company team from India at the start of the 1961-62 season, and played two matches against the MCC, for a President's XI in Rawalpindi and for a Combined XI in Bahawalpur later in the season. He also played for an East Pakistan Governor's XI against a touring International XI in Dacca. In 10 matches that season he scored 371 runs at 26.50 and took 19 catches and nine stumpings.
