Imran Khwaja (also known as Imran Hamid Khwaja or Imran Khawaja) is a Singaporean cricket administrator and lawyer. He has been Deputy Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 2017. When Shashank Manohar resigned in 2020, Khwaja took over as interim chairman – making him the first person from Singapore to hold this position. Khwaja is concurrently a managing partner at a Singapore law firm, and previously served as president of the Singapore Cricket Association.

Early life and career Khwaja worked as a lawyer in Singapore, eventually becoming a managing partner at a legal firm. He later became chair of the Associate Members group.

Khwaja was elected to another term as deputy chairman in February 2021. At this time, he was also heading the ICC's Finance and Commercial Affairs (F&CA) committee.

In February 2024, Khwaja was re-elected for another two-year term without any opposition. Jay Shah from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had been expected to challenge him but decided not to run. An ICC spokesperson said, "The ICC Board... unanimously agreed to appoint Imran Khwaja as ICC Deputy Chairman."
