Feroze Khan (9 September 1904 – 21 April 2005) was a field hockey player who represented India at the Summer Olympic Games. At the time of his death, he was the world's oldest Olympic gold medal winner, following the death of U.S. athlete James Rockefeller in 2004. Khan was part of India's Olympic hockey team at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, who won the gold medal for the event.[1] At the club level, Khan played for Uttar Pradesh, Aligarh University and the Bombay Customs.[2] After his death, Roger Beaufrand of France became the oldest living Olympic gold medal winner.[3]
In his later years, he moved to Pakistan, and lived in Karachi where he served as a well-respected coach. He died of natural causes at the age of 100.[1]
