Muhamad Yusuf Khan Khattak (18 November 1917  29 July 1991) was a Pakistani politician, left-wing intellectual, lawyer, and noted Pakistan Movement activist from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Although an early member of the Muslim League, he actively participated in politics through the left-oriented Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), which he served as the minister of petroleum under the government of Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

He was a highly respectable statesman and represented Pakistan at various international conferences during his political career.
