Aamer Hameed (born 18 October 1954) is a former Pakistani cricketer, known as The Lahori Lion who played two One Day International between 1977 and 1978. His primary skill was a fast-medium pace bowler. He was born at Lahore in 1954.

Both his international matches came against England during the 1977/78 home series. He only picked up one wicket in his two games dismissing Mike Brearley at the Zafar Ali Stadium. He was picked for the summer tour of England in 1978 although he didn't receive a call-up during the series and eventually was never considered for international selection for the remainder of his career. After the tour of England in 1978, he went for his further studies and joined University College, Oxford, England. Here, he played for Oxford University and won his Oxford Blue in 1979.
