Khalid Ahmed Jamil (born 21 April 1977) is an Indian professional football manager and former player who is currently the head coach of Indian Super League club Jamshedpur.

Jamil spent most of his playing career at Mahindra United, Air India and Mumbai. After taking an early retirement in 2009 due to injuries, he pursued a career in football management.

He started his managerial career with Mumbai and went on to manage several top-tier Indian football clubs like Mohun Bagan, East Bengal, Aizawl, Mumbai, NorthEast United and Jamshedpur, notably winning the I-League with Aizawl.

He is the first Indian coach to be appointed as a permanent head coach of an ISL club and the only Indian coach to qualify for the ISL playoffs, which he achieved with NorthEast United in the 2020–21 season.
