Fawad Afzal Khan (Urdu/Punjabi: فواد افضل خان) (born 29 November 1981) is a Pakistani actor and singer. As a singer, he was one of the members of the band Entity Paradigm, an alternative rock band based in Lahore. Their debut album Irtiqa was released in 2003, but the band was dissolved in 2007.

Khan made his film debut with a supporting role in the 2007 Pakistani movie Khuda Kay Liye. He went on to garner popularity with lead roles in the television shows Dastaan (2010), Humsafar (2011) and Zindagi Gulzar Hai (2012). Khan made his Bollywood debut with the leading role of a prince in the 2014 romantic comedy Khoobsurat, for which he won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. In 2016, he received unanimous praise for his portrayal of a troubled writer in the family drama Kapoor & Sons, which also emerged as a major critical and commercial success.

Khan was born in Karachi to a Lahore based family. His mother is originally from Hyderabad in India, while his father is originally from Patiala in Punjab, India, who moved to Lahore, following the partition in 1947. Khan spent the earlier years of his life living abroad with his family in Dubai, Riyadh and then Manchester during the Gulf War. He moved back to Lahore when Fawad was aged 12. According to Khan, he is of mixed Punjabi and Pashtun ancestry. By age 20, Khan could play the guitar, bass and drums. He put his voice to use as the lead singer of the band Entity Paradigm. Khan obtained his A-levels from the Lahore Grammar School (LGS) and went on to complete his bachelor's degree in computer engineering from the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (NUCES) in Lahore. His first performance was amateur acting in a theater play called Spartacus during A-level in 1999.
