Omar Asghar Khan (3 July 1953 – 25 June 2002) was a Pakistani economist, social, political scientist.

"[1] According to Professor Pervez Hoodbhoy: He, (Omar) and the organization he founded, Sungi, stood up resolutely to hostile maulvis opposed to education of girls and against the timber mafia in Hazara.

I am deeply grateful to Omar that he encouraged me to speak and write about General Zia's fraudulent Islamic science at the peak of that repressive dictatorship.

[2]His works benefited him when Omar joined General Pervaz Musharraf's cabinet as Federal Minister for Environment, Local Government & Rural Development, Labor, Manpower, and Overseas Pakistanis after a bloodless coup in October 1999.

[4] Khan's family continues to insist he was murdered by Pakistan ISI, though the authorities still label his death as "not determined".
