Abū al-ʿAzīz Muḥammad Ismāʿīl ʿAlī (Bengali: আবুল আজীজ মোহাম্মদ ইসমাঈল আলী; 1868–1937) was a Bengali politician, teacher and activist of the Khilafat Movement. He wrote poetry in Urdu under the pen name of Ālam (Urdu: آلم). His Diwan-i-Alam poem led to the Calcutta Alia Madrasa awarding him the title of Parrot of Bengal in 1910.
