Raza Murad (born November 23, 1950, in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh) is a veteran Indian actor known for his commanding presence in over 250 Hindi films and TV shows. Son of legendary character actor Murad, he trained at FTII Pune (diploma in acting, 1969-1971) and debuted young in 1965.

Married to Samina Murad since 1972, he has two children, Ali and Ayesha, aspiring in Bollywood. At 75, he leads a simple life, enjoys singing, and remains active. Known for gravitas and versatility, he filed a police complaint against fake death rumors in 2025. His legacy endures in timeless character portrayals.
