Ali Akbar Qavam ol-Molk (Persian: علی اکبر قوام الملک; 1788–1865) was an Iranian statesman who served as the kalantar (lord mayor) of Shiraz and Custodian of Astan Quds Razavi in the Qajar era.

He was the youngest son of Hajji Ebrahim Shirazi, the grand vizier of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar who by the latter's order was executed, his family too, subsequently purged.

During his 47-year tenure, Qavam ol-Molk built a strong prestige and authority over not only Shiraz but Fars and the court of the Qajar shahs.

Ali Akbar was born in 1788 at Shiraz,[1] the youngest son of Hajji Ebrahim Shirazi, the then kalantar (lord mayor) who in a turn of events became the grand vizier of Agha Mohammad Khan and Fath-Ali Shah.

[6][7] Ali Akbar, for ensuring of his safety, with his son, took refuge to Hashemieh, the traditional Maktab of his family that was built by his great-grandfather, Mahmoud.

[12] Ali Akbar used this situation and led a revolt along with Mohammad Qoli Khan Ilbeigi, the representative of the Fars tribes.

however later, Ali Akbar realised that his forces could not resist against the Tehran army, thus he left Ilbeigi and joined Hossein Khan, asking for his pardon.

[7] after the revolt Ali Akbar's authority did not shaked as Naser al-Din Shah with knowledge of his influence over Fars, often would greet him with gifts such as a carbuncled cane and even bestowed his son the title saheb divan and appointed him as Supervisor of the treasury and finances of his court.

The design of the main building and the two-column porch of the mansion are adapted from the common architectural style of the Zand era.
