Abu Tayyab Mohammad Mustafa (c. 1925 - 8 July 1966) was a Pakistani cricketer who played a single first-class match for East Pakistan during the 1955-56 season.
Born in Calcutta in what was then the Bengal Presidency, Mustafa first appeared for the side in two matches played against the Pakistan national cricket team during the 1952-53 season. A right-handed batsman, his only match at first-class level came in January 1956, against a touring Marylebone Cricket Club side led by Donald Carr. In the match, played at Chittagong Stadium, Mustafa served as East Pakistan's captain, but was unsuccessful as a batsman, failing to reach double figures in either innings. The team as a whole was also unsuccessful, losing by an innings and 101 runs after having followed on. Mustafa did not play any further matches at first-class level, and died in Havana, Cuba, in July 1966, although it is unclear when or how he had come to reside in Cuba.
