Munawwar Hussain (born 17 October 1943) is a former cricketer who played first-class cricket in Pakistan from 1961 to 1975.

A slow left-arm orthodox spinner, he was the most successful bowler in the 1964-65 Pakistan season with 59 wickets at an average of 14.61.[1] His best performance that season was for Public Works Department against Railways, when he took 7 for 65 and 3 for 104.[2]

In 1966-67 he took 6 for 35 and 2 for 56 for South Zone against the MCC Under-25 team. He later played in one of the three matches the Pakistan Under-25 team played against MCC Under-25, but took only one wicket.[3] In 1970-71 he took his best innings and match figures: 8 for 163 and 4 for 82 (match figures of 70–10–245–12) for Pakistan International Airlines B against his former team Karachi Blues.[4]

In 1973-74 he was the only Pakistani selected to play for a Rest of the World XI against Pakistan. He was the Rest of the World XI’s most successful bowler, with five wickets.[5] Two weeks later, captaining Pakistan International Airlines B, he took 4 for 42 and 6 for 63 in an innings victory over Quetta.[6]

He later served as a match referee.
