Mohammed Ijaz Butt (Urdu: اعجاز بٹ; 10 March 1938 – 3 August 2023) was a Pakistani cricketer who played in eight Test matches from 1959 to 1962. A wicket keeper and right-handed opening batsman, he scored 279 runs from his brief Test career at a modest batting average of 19.92, however he was a capable wicket keeper with a first-class cricket career for Lahore, Multan, Punjab and Rawalpindi where he scored 3,842 runs at 34.30 with a best of 161.
On 6 October 2008, President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari, patron of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), appointed Butt as chairman of the PCB. He was involved in several controversies during his term, at a time when security concerns—including a shooting incident involving the Sri Lankan tour bus—stripped Pakistan of several international fixtures, and he made a number of attacks on PCB officials and the Senate of Pakistan.
