Nisar Muhammad Yousafzai (Pashto: نثار محمد یوسفزی Russian: Нисор Мухаммад Юсуфзай; born 1897, died October 8, 1937) was an Afghan communist revolutionary and war hero of Swabi who played a significant role in the creation of Tajikistan.

Nisar Muhammad Yousafzai was born to a Yusufzai Pashtun family in the village of Zaida, Swabi District of the North-West Frontier in 1897.

He was an intelligent and perceptive young boy who was influenced by the October Revolution of Vladimir Lenin and early Indian Communist Leaders, similarly just the same as one Noor Tarakai.

Their efforts eventually bore fruit when, in 1924, the Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was formed as part of the Uzbek SSR.

During this mission, Muhammad provided support to the revolutionary leader Mirza Kuchak Khan, leaving an indelible mark on the struggle for independence in the region.
