Nasir Adeeb (born 6 March 1947) is a Pakistani scriptwriter, chiefly working in Punjabi language films of Lollywood.

He holds unasserted world record for writing the highest number of film scripts until date. He has also written many novels, including a spy novel which was published during his school days. He earned recognition in the 1970s with his first classical film Wehshi Jatt and subsequently with Maula Jatt, a mass market blockbuster film with its characters like Noori Natt. The film became a subject between the government of Pakistan and the filmmakers for its story written by Nasir Adeeb.

The recipient of numerous awards and accordion, including Presidential Pride of Performance, he wrote scripts and dialogues for more than four hundred films and is also credited for introducing "gandasa" genre in films which according to The Diplomat brought significant improvements to the Pakistan film industry during its unsuccessful productions.
