Shaukat Ali Khan (10 March 1873– 26 November 1938; Urdu: مولانا شوكت علی خان) was an Indian Muslim member of the Khilafat Movement.

Shaukat Ali served in the civil service of the United Provinces of Oudh and Agra for 17 years in British India.

[1] In 1919, while jailed for publishing what the British charged as seditious materials and organizing protests, he was elected as the last president of the Khilafat conference.

[1] Though he is widely known as an advocate of non-violence in the struggle against the British colonialists, he supplied guns to Indian revolutionaries like Sachindra Nath Sanyal.

His brother Jauhar died in 1931, and Shaukat Ali continued on and organized the World Muslim Conference in Jerusalem.
