Mian Yawar Saeed (22 January 1935 – 21 October 2015) was a Pakistani cricketer, who played 50 first-class matches for Somerset County Cricket Club and nine matches for a variety of teams based in Pakistan between 1953 and 1959. A right-handed batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler, he claimed 106 career wickets.

Saeed was appointed Pakistan cricket team manager but after Pakistan's scandal-filled England tour, including match fixing allegations against team members, and after losing all three series against England he resigned from his post on 27 September 27, 2010.[1]

On 21 October 2015, Saeed died of a brain tumour in Lahore aged 80.[2][3]

He was son of Mohammad Saeed and brother to Taimur Saeed and father-in-law of Raza Rabbani.
