Sher Muhammad Khan (, Punjabi, ), better known by his pen name Ibn-e-Insha (, Punjabi, ; 15 June 1927 – 11 January 1978), was a Pakistani Urdu poet, humorist, travelogue writer and newspaper columnist.

Along with his poetry, he was regarded as one of the best humorists of Urdu. His poetry has a distinctive diction laced with language reminiscent of Amir Khusro in its use of words and construction that is usually heard in the more earthy dialects of the Hindi-Urdu complex of languages, and his forms and poetic style have influenced generations of young poets.
