Sheikh Abdur Rehman (15 December 1917 – 22 October 2000) was a Pakistani cricketer who played first-class cricket in British India from 1937 to 1941 and in Pakistan from 1948 to 1960.

Abdur Rehman played as a wicketkeeper for Southern Punjab in the Ranji Trophy from 1936–37 to 1941–42.[1] Later, in Pakistan, he played as a batsman and occasional pace bowler.

He scored one of the first centuries in Pakistani first-class cricket when he made 108 opening the batting for the Punjab Governor's XI against Punjab University in 1948–49.[2] A few days later he was a member of Pakistan's first tour when they visited Ceylon, but he did not play in the international matches on the tour.[citation needed]

He scored 48 and 89 when Combined Services beat Karachi in the first round of the inaugural Quaid-e-Azam Trophy in 1953–54. He continued to play for Combined Services until 1960–61.[citation needed]

Rehman umpired three first-class matches in Pakistan between 1968 and 1971.[3] His much younger brother Fazal-ur-Rehman played Test cricket for Pakistan in 1958.[citation needed]
