Franklin Khan (died 17 April 2021) was a Trinidad and Tobago politician who served as Member of Parliament for Ortoire-Mayaro and Chairman of the ruling People's National Movement.
In 2005, Khan was indicted on corruption charges, all of which were dropped in a court of law five years later.
He had been the first politician in Trinidad and Tobago to be indicted for corruption while his party was still in power. Khan was elected in 2002 on a PNM ticket, defeating incumbent Winston Peters. Between September 2002 and 8 May 2005 Khan served as Minister of Works, resigning in the face of bribery allegations levelled by PNM Councillor Dansam Dhansook, who is now under investigation for allegedly making false statements. Khan served as chairman of the PNM on two occasions, 2003 to 2005 and from 2011 to 2018
After having been cleared of all accusations, Mr. Khan was expected to resume his career in politics.
