Mohammad Hasan Sharq (Dari/Pashto: محمد حسن شرق, born 17 July 1925) is an Afghan former communist politician (belonging to the Parcham faction of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA)) who was active in the communist government of Afghanistan. Sharq became Chairman of the Council of Ministers – the government of the Soviet-backed Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. He was selected as a compromise candidate after a loya jirga ratified a new constitution in 1987. However, the power of his office was relatively slight compared with the powers held by the presidency.
