Mahmud Hussain Khan (Urdu: محمود حسین خان; 5 July 1907 – 12 April 1975) was a Pakistani academic, educationist, and politician, credited with pioneering the study of social sciences in Pakistan. A supporter of the Pakistan Movement, he was appointed Minister of State for both Defence and Foreign Affairs in 1949, before serving as Minister for Education from 1952 to 1953.
Returning to academia, Hussain taught as visiting professor at Heidelberg University, Columbia University, and the University of Pennsylvania during the 1960s. He served as vice-chancellor of Dhaka University from 1960 to 1963, and of Karachi University from 1967 until his death in 1975. A proponent of greater rights for East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, Hussain emerged a vocal critic of Pakistan's military action in 1971, but was unsuccessful.
Mahmud Hussain was born in Qaimganj, United Provinces, British India to Fida Hussain Khan, a lawyer, and Naznin Begum. The youngest of seven sons, he was the brother of Dr Zakir Hussain, the third President of India, and Yousuf Hussain. He was also the uncle of Masud Husain Khan, and the father-in-law of General Rahimuddin Khan.
