Mohammad Yunus (1915–1992) was an Indian cricket umpire who officiated in domestic first-class cricket in India during the mid-twentieth century. He is remembered as one of the umpires who served the Indian domestic circuit during the formative decades of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) tournaments such as the Ranji Trophy.

Yunus was active in a period when Indian cricket was administered through a relatively small panel of officiating umpires drawn from regional cricket associations. Umpires of his generation typically came up through club and zonal cricket before being appointed to first-class fixtures by the BCCI and its affiliated state associations.
Yunus officiated in first-class cricket matches in India. The bulk of first-class cricket in the country during his career consisted of the Ranji Trophy, the inter-zonal Duleep Trophy (introduced in 1961–62), and matches involving touring international sides.
Umpires such as Yunus contributed to the institutional growth of Indian domestic cricket in the decades following independence, supporting the standardisation of officiating practices that later allowed Indian umpires to gain recognition at the international level.
