Ghulam Mohammad (12 July 1898 – 21 July 1966) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket in India from 1924 to 1939. He later lived in Pakistan.

Ghulam Mohammad was a left-arm medium-pace bowler and lower-order right-handed batsman. After doing well in the trial matches in 1931–32 he was selected to tour England with India's first Test touring team in 1932.{{cite web | url = http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/29043.html| first= Martin |last= Williamson | title = Ghulam Mohammad | publisher=ESPNcricinfo | access-date =23 February 2018}} However, he took only three wickets in nine matches, and did not play in the Test match.
