Syed Abdur Rashid (Urdu: سید عبدالرشید; died 1985), commonly known as Rashid Chunna, was a Pakistani football player who played as a forward, and manager. He represented the Pakistan national football team between 1952 and 1954.

After playing for Aryan in 1950, he moved to the Dhaka First Division League in East Pakistan.[1][3] In 1951, he started playing for Fire Service. In 1952, he joined EPG Press, winning the First Division title, and finishing as the highest scorer in the league.[1] In the same year, he played for East Pakistan Governor's XI against the Indian national team which toured Dhaka before playing in the 1952 Summer Olympics, where Rashid scored the lone goal of the match.[1]
Apart from EPG Press, he also played for Dhaka Wanderers at the Aga Khan Gold Cup, and Dhaka Mohammedan in 1958. He also played in the IFA Shield in Kolkata in 1958.[1]

In 1952, Rashid was selected by the Pakistan national football team to play at the 1952 Asian Quadrangular Football Tournament in Colombo, Ceylon.[1][2] He made two appearances, against Ceylon,[5] and in the last match against India, which ended in a goalless draw and both teams emerged as joint winners of the tournament after finishing with the same points in the table.[6]
He was later part of the international squad at the 1954 Asian Games.[1][2][7]
