Rashid Khan Arman (Pashto: راشد خان ارمان‎; born 20 September 1998), commonly known as Rashid Khan, is an international Afghan cricketer who plays for both limited over formats.

Rashid Khan was born in 1998 in Nangarhar, eastern Afghanistan. He grew up idolising Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi, and stylised his bowling action from him. On 7 December 2016 he made his first-class debut for Afghanistan against England Lions in Abu Dhabi, taking 4 for 48 and 8 for 74 and scoring 25 not out and 52.

In February 2017, he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for the 2017 Indian Premier League (IPL) for 4 crores. He was also amongst the two first ever Afghan players to be selected for the IPL. The following month, he was bought by Guyana Amazon Warriors for $60,000 to play in the 2017 Caribbean Premier League.

He made his IPL debut in the opening fixture of the 2017 tournament, taking two wickets, as the Sunrisers Hyderabad won the match by 35 runs.

He made his One Day International debut for Afghanistan against Zimbabwe on 18 October 2015. He made his Twenty20 International debut, also against Zimbabwe, on 26 October 2015.

On 10 March 2017, Rashid took his maiden T20I five-wicket haul at the second T20I against Ireland. His figures of five wickets for three runs is the best bowling performance by an Afghan cricket in a T20I and the joint fourth-best figures in all T20Is. He became the first player to take a five-wicket haul in two overs in a T20I match. Afghanistan won the match and Rashid and Najeeb Tarakai shared the man of the match award.
