Kamal Najamuddin (born 24 October 1954) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played first-class cricket for several teams in Pakistan from 1970 to 1987.

Kamal Najamuddin was a wicket-keeper who usually opened the batting. He played a first-class match in 1969-70 at the age of 15 purely as a batsman, and another in 1970-71 as a wicket-keeper, without batting in either. In his second match of the 1971-72 season, opening and keeping wicket for Karachi Whites, he made 45 and 107 not out.[1]

He continued to play for various Karachi teams and Sindh. He had his best season with the bat in 1980-81, when in nine matches he made 645 runs at an average of 40.31, with two centuries.[2] He made his highest score of 179 for Karachi against Railways, when he put on 418 for the first wicket with Khalid Alvi.[3]

In 1982-83 he made 10 dismissals (nine caught, one stumped) in Karachi's victory over Lahore City.[4] In 1983-84 he played only three matches, all for Karachi Greens, but he made 86, 111 not out, 108 not out, 69 and 0.[5]
