Irene Zubaida Khan (born 24 December 1956) is a Bangladeshi lawyer who served as the seventh Secretary General of Amnesty International (2001-2009).

==Early life==
Khan was born in Dhaka, in what was then East Pakistan to a relatively wealthy family. She is the daughter of Sikander Ali Khan, a non-practicing medical doctor; granddaughter of Ahmed Ali Khan, a Cambridge University graduate and barrister; and great-granddaughter of Asdar Ali Khan, an eminent doctor of Calcutta who was the personal physician of Syed Hasan Imam. Her uncle, Rear Admiral Mahbub Ali Khan, was the chief of the Bangladesh Navy. She was the star pupil at St Francis Xavier's Green Herald International School, where she was the record holder at the school-leaving examinations.
During her childhood, East Pakistan became the independent nation of Bangladesh in 1971 following a struggle that became known as the Bangladesh Liberation War. Human rights abuses that occurred during the war helped shape the teenage Khan's activist viewpoint. She left Bangladesh as a teenager for school in Northern Ireland.
Khan went to England, where she studied law at the University of Manchester and then, in the United States, at Harvard Law School. She specialized in public international law and human rights.
