Aamer Sajjad (born 5 February 1981) is a Pakistani former first-class cricketer. A right-handed batsman and right-arm off-spin bowler, he played first-class cricket from 2002 to 2018.

In 2009–10 he scored more runs than anybody else in the Pakistan season, finishing with 1435 runs at an average of 68.33.[1] Opening the batting for Water and Power Development Authority against Sui Southern Gas Company, he made 289, adding 580 for the second wicket with Rafatullah Mohmand.[2] It is the highest second-wicket partnership, and the second-highest partnership of all, in first-class cricket history.[3]

He was selected for the Pakistan A tours of Sri Lanka in August and September 2010, and the West Indies in November. When the regular captain, Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, was absent, he often captained the Water and Power Development Authority team. In February 2021, he began to undertake coaching courses with the Pakistan Cricket Board.[4]
