Akbar Khan (born 7 July 1949) is an Indian actor, screenwriter, film producer and director.

Akbar was born on 7 July 1949, in Bangalore, India, to Sadiq Ali Khan and Fatima.

Akbar started his career as an assistant director to filmmakers and after a few years made his debut in Anjaan Rahain (1974), which starred his brother Feroz in the main lead.

He also starred in his brother Sanjay Khan's directorial venture Kala Dhanda Gorey Log (1986).

The film was poorly marketed in India by Mukta Arts, which led to a dispute between Akbar, Subhash Ghai and Yash Chopra.
