Amir ul-Mulk (1 January 1877 – 23 December 1923) was the Mehtar (ruler) of the princely state of Chitral. He assumed power after arranging for the murder of his brother Mehtar Nizam ul-Mulk. His tenure as Mehtar was brief as he was removed from office in less than three months, before having the chance to consolidate his position.
