Jehan Mubarak (born January 10, 1981 in Washington, DC, United States) is an American-born Sri Lankan cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman with an array of strokes and a right-arm offbreak bowler.

Mubarak was rushed into the 2003 Sri Lankan World Cup Squad though only playing a couple of first class games. He has been a prolific run scorer in school cricket.

However, he has failed to perform up to his standards in the country's relatively short cricketing history. His poor performance continued since his debut at the 2003 Cricket World Cup- where he was put into the No. 3 position. He subsequently reinvented himself as an opener.

He is one of two Test cricketers to be born in the U.S., the other being the West Indian Ken Weekes.

In February 2006, he was fined after showing dissent towards an umpire in an ODI against Bangladesh ^[1]

In August 2007 he was rushed into the Sri Lankan Twenty20 squad following the departures of Marvan Atapattu and Russel Arnold, following man-of-the-match performances against Bangladesh^[2]. He performed admirably during this tournament which included a 13-ball 46 against Kenya.
