Ṣabīḥ Khān (Persian: صبيح خان), popularly known as Sabi Khan (Bengali: ছবি খাঁ), was a Mughal statesman best known for serving as the Kotwal and Faujdar of Bakla (Barisal) during the reign of Mughal emperor Jahangir. He was renowned for the construction of numerous roads, bridges, reservoirs and places of worship in the Barisal region. Henry Beveridge credits him as the first road-builder of the region. The Kotalipara Upazila is named after him.
