Feroze Khan (Urdu: فیروز خان) (September 9, 1904 – April 21, 2005) was, at the time of his death, the world oldest Olympic gold medal winner, following the death of U.S. athlete James Rockefeller in 2004. He was part of India's Olympic hockey team at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, which won the gold medal for the event.[1] After his death, Roger Beaufrand of France became the oldest living Olympic gold medal winner.[2]

In his later years, he moved to Pakistan where he served as a well-respected coach. He died of natural causes at the age of 100.[1]
