Mansoor Akhtar (born 25 December 1957) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played in 19 Tests and 41 ODIs from 1980 to 1990. He partnered Waheed Mirza in a world record opening stand of 561 in 1977. The partnership is still the best for the 1st wicket in first-class cricket. He scored one century and three half-centuries, with a highest score of 111 against Australia in Faisalabad.

On August 7th, 2019, Mansoor Akhtar, along with one other person named Ramesh Gupta from India, was alleged to have approached Pakistani cricketer Umar Akmal for match fixing during the second edition of the Global T20 Canada tournament. Akmal, however, reported the approach to the Pakistan Cricket Board and tournament officials. Anti-corruption officials instructed all participating teams to stay away from Akhtar and Ramesh Gupta. Mansoor Akhtar has admitted meeting Umar Akmal, but hasn't admitted to the allegations of fixing.
