Freydoun Malcolm Khan (Persian: فریدون ملکم خان; 25 December 1875 – 4 June 1954), variously spelled Firidun Malkom Khan and Freydoun Malkom Khan was an Iranian fencer and diplomat. Born in London to diplomat Mirza Malkam Khan, he would attend Eton College and the École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr. He would later be designated as the special adjutant at the Persian Embassy in Paris and later in Rome. Due to his and his father's service as a diplomat, they would be granted the royal title of Prince by Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar.
At the time Khan was a student and worked in the Embassy, the Shah would nominate him to compete at the 1900 Summer Olympics. There, Khan would be considered as the first Olympian for Iran. He would compete in the men's individual épée and advance up until the quarterfinals before his elimination in the event.
