Mohammad Amir Ahmad Khan (Urdu: محمد عامر احمد خان), titled the Raja of Mahmudabad (راجہ صاحب محمود آباد) (5 November 1914 – 14 October 1973), was a prominent nobleman and member of the Pakistan Movement.
The Raja of Mahmudabad was initially opposed to the partition of India and came to serve as the president of the All-India Jamhur Muslim League, which worked to oppose the idea of a possible partition on religious grounds. He came to accept the idea of a separate state for Indian Muslims and became a leader of the All India Muslim League, which heralded the Pakistan Movement.
He served as Managing Trustee from 1940–1944 of Madrasatul Waizeen, a centre of Shia Islamic education founded by his father located in Lucknow.
