Zeshan 'Zesh' Rehman (born October 14, 1983 in Birmingham, England) is an English football defender playing for Queens Park Rangers in the The Championship and for the Pakistan national football team. He was the the first Pakistani and British Asian to play in the Premiership and is often referred to as the best British Asian footballer around - but such titles are often subjective. He made his international debut for Pakistan, on December 7 2005 at Karachi against Sri Lanka.

Rehman completed a transfer to Queens Park Rangers from Fulham on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee in August 2006. Although the transfer was considered a "downward move", Rehman was quoted saying "All I want to do is play; the money doesn't interest me anymore". He further added "I could have sat at Fulham and just been happy to pick up my wages but that's not what I am all about".
