Amin Lakhani (born 1 October 1959) is a former cricketer who played first-class and List A cricket in Pakistan from 1976 to 1993.

A left-arm spin bowler, Lakhani took a hat-trick in each innings of a match in October 1978: [1] aged 19, playing for a Universities and Young Pakistan team against the touring Indian Test team, he took 6 for 58 with a hat-trick in the first innings and 6 for 80 with a hat-trick in the second. All six of his hat-trick victims were Test players. Despite his success, the Indian team won by two wickets. [2]

He captained the Pakistan National Shipping Corporation cricket team from 1986–87 until 1992–93, his final season of first-class cricket, when he also took his best bowling figures of 8 for 60 against Pakistan Automobiles Corporation. [3]
