Afzal Khan (Urdu: افضل خان), better known as Jan Rambo, is a Pakistani film and TV actor, comedian, director, producer and host.
He rose to fame by playing a janitor nicknamed Jan Rambo in PTV's famous comedy show Guest House (1991). He later assumed Jan Rambo as his screen name after the Sylvester Stallone character John Rambo. People on the TV stage had nicknamed him Jan Rambo due to his face, though certainly not his physique, resembling the Hollywood actor's.

They have two sons. Their elder son, Ahsan Afzal Khan, made his acting debut in Geo Entertainment's 2023 Ramadan play Heer Da Hero.
