Sardar Abdul Wahab Khan (Dari: سردار عبدالوهاب خان) (1848 - 13 July 1920) belonged to the Mohammadzai tribe of Kandahar.

[3]: 23 Abdul Wahab Khan requested Nicolson to write him a referral, which he did on 14 October 1887 promising him proper treatment if Abdul Wahab Khan relocated to British India on the condition that he conducts himself well and did whatever the Government of India asked of him.

[3]: 19  He lived for 10 years in British India, lodging multiple petitions to have his pension increased and all being denied.

He resorted to borrowing and incurred debts of 10,000 Rupees before finally deciding to flee British India on 18 February 1898 and returning to Persia, leaving his family behind in Lahore with his eldest son Sardar Abdul Habib Khan in charge of their family matters in British India.

Abdul Habib Khan complained to the Government of India that other Afghan refugees were getting 2-3 Rupees for every Kiran (Iranian currency) they held when they migrated from Persia to British India, but his father who held 700 Kirans was given only 250 Rupees.

Durand replied on 24 April 1899[3]: 24  stating that he had no power in the matters raised by Abdul Wahab Khan, but will send his request to the Government of India for a decision.

Two of his sons from his first wife Sakina: Abdur Rahman Khan who was an envoy to India and member of Afghan Peace Delegates to Rawalpindi during the Third Anglo-Afghan War,[2]: 104  and Abdul Habib Khan (was at one time residing in Lahore in 1899) were both appointed Ministers of Education in succession after him.
