Mohammad Abbas (born 10 March 1990) is a Pakistani international cricketer who plays for Pakistan national cricket team and for Southern Punjab domestically.

In August 2018, he was one of thirty-three players to be awarded a central contract for the 2018–19 season by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The International Cricket Council (ICC) named Abbas as one of the five breakout stars in men's cricket in 2018. In July 2021, Abbas lost his central contract after failing to maintain his place in the national team. He is acknowledged for his ability to maintain control and ability to exploit swing in his bowling trajectory.

He made a remarkable comeback in December 2024 against South Africa by picking up 7 wickets in his 1st test after a gap of three years, 6 of which coming from the 4th innings of the match, delivering an outstanding spell.
