Rahimuddin Khan (21 July 1926 – 22 August 2022) was a general of the Pakistan Army who served as the 4th Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee from 1984 to 1987, after serving as the 7th governor of Balochistan from 1978 to 1984.^[1] He also served as the 16th governor of Sindh in 1988.^[2]

Opting for Pakistan during the Partition, Rahimuddin enrolled as the first cadet of the Pakistan Military Academy. He was part of military action during the 1953 Punjab disturbances, and later commanded 111 Brigade in Rawalpindi and II Corps in Multan. As Chairman Joint Chiefs, he rejected the future military plan for the Kargil Conflict.^[3]

As the longest-serving governor of Balochistan, Rahimuddin declared a general amnesty and ended all military operations in the province.^[4] His tenure saw widespread development, including the opening of Sui gas fields to Quetta,^[5] the construction of nuclear test sites in Chaghai, and the halting of the Baloch insurgency.^[6]^[7] He was credited with financial honesty,^[8] but suppressed mujahideen entering the province during the Soviet war in Afghanistan.

Khan refused an extension of service as chairman joint chiefs, retiring in 1987.
