Mohammed Afzal Khan, CBE (Urdu: محمد افضل خان; born 5 April 1958) is a British Labour Party politician who has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Manchester Rusholme since the 2024 general election.^[2] He previously served as the MP for Manchester Gorton from 2017 until 2024. ^[1]

As a result of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, Manchester Gorton's boundaries were changed, and Khan stood instead in Manchester Rusholme, which overlaps with his previous constituency.

He was formerly Lord Mayor of Manchester for 2005–2006, and served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for North West England from 2014 to 2017.
