Rajesh Chauhan (ⓘ; born 19 December 1966) is a former Indian cricketer who played in 21 Tests and 35 One Day Internationals from 1993 to 1998. He was part of the Indian spin trio of Kumble-Raju-Chauhan, in the 1990s.
Although his own contributions were only of limited value, India lost none of the 21 Tests in which he played. The feat for which he is perhaps remembered most is his last-over six off Saqlain Mushtaq at Karachi in 1997, which sealed a four-wicket win for India against Pakistan.
