Khalid Saleem Mota (born 3 July 1947) is a notable Pakistani actor and comedian who enjoyed a prolific career in the Pakistani film industry between 1968 and 1999. Known for his versatility in both Urdu and Punjabi cinema, he appeared in 173 films, often playing memorable supporting roles that added humor to popular narratives.

After debuting in the 1968 Punjabi film Kanjus, Mota became a familiar face on the silver screen, particularly during the 1970s. Interestingly, he was the first comedian in Pakistan to hold an LLB degree, having earned his law qualification from Punjab University, though he chose to dedicate his life to acting rather than legal practice. In his later years, Mota faced significant health challenges due to diabetes, resulting in bilateral leg amputations and his eventual retirement from the entertainment industry. He remains remembered as a reliable and expressive performer who contributed significantly to the comedic landscape of Lollywood.
