Mīrzā Lutfullāh Khān Tabrīzī (Persian: ميرزا لطف الله تبریزی, Bengali: মীর্জা লুৎফুল্লাহ তবরীজী), also known as Murshid Qulī Khān II, was an 18th-century administrator who served under the Nawabs of Bengal as the Naib Nazim of Jahangirnagar (Dhaka) and Orissa respectively. Lutfullah was also a calligrapher, as well as an author in the Persian language under the pen name Sarshār (Persian: سرشار).
Azad al-Husaini's Naubahar-i-Murshid-Quli-Khani book is dedicated to Lutfullah, and celebrates him as the conqueror of Lower Tippera. This is because Tippera was only nominally under Mughal rule, and was fully annexed during Lutfullah's tenure as Naib Nazim.
