# Amanullah Khan Afshar

Amanallah Khan Khamseh-Afshar (Persian: امان الله خان خمسه افشار) was one of the most prominent commanders in the army of the Qajar shah (king) of Iran, Fath-Ali Shah Qajar (r. 1797–1834).

A member of the Afshar clan of Zanjan (which he briefly governed), he was a son of Farajallah Khan Afshar. In 1806, during the Russo-Persian War of 1804–1813, Amanallah Khan was amongst the commanders assigned with the task to aid Ibrahim Khalil Khan, the khan (governor) of the Karabakh Khanate. However, by the time he had arrived, Ibrahim Khalil Khan had been murdered by the Russians.
