Zabardust Khan Tanoli, known by his nickname Suba Khan Tanoli, was a chieftain of the Tanoli tribe and the Nawab of Kashmir and Mashrik-i-Kandahar (present day Khyber Paktunkhwa) in 18th century Mughal India. He fought at the Third Battle of Panipat and his intelligence, rifles and zamburak artillery skills contributed to the Afghan victory. He played a considerable part with Ahmed Shah Abdali to fight against the Sikh and Hindu Jats.

Ahmed Shah Abdali called him Suba Khan after the Kashmir Subah (Kashmir Province), of which Tanoli was the subahdar (governor). The subah was annexed by Gulab Singh in 1818 during fall of Tanol in Stratagem of Peshawar (1818).

He was a good administrator during a very violent period. He tried his best to help people, ensure peace in his area, and control the prices of food and other resources. For this reason, he is still remembered by people in that area today. He was the ruler of Tanawal valley at his time, which is also known as Amb.

Suba Khan Tanoli died in 1783. After his death, the next ruler was Mir Haibat Khan Tanoli. Haibat Khan, was the grandfather of Painda Khan Tanoli and father of Mir Nawab Khan Tanoli.

Suba Khan's support for Ahmed Shah Durrani's invasion of Maharaja Suraj Mal's Kingdom was very reliable. In the Battle of Bharatpur, the army of Suba Khan and his combating gun powder, denied the lead to Suraj Mal's army, resulting in an Afghan victory.

Tomb of Suba Khan

Due to several invasions the tomb of Suba Khan Tanoli was badly damaged.
