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.
