Shah Hussain Hotaki, (Pashto, Dari, Urdu, Arabic: ‌ شاہ حسین ہوتکی), son of Mirwais Hotak, was the fifth and last ruler of the Hotaki dynasty. An ethnic Pashtun (Afghan) from the Ghilzai tribe, he succeeded to the throne after the death of his brother Mahmud Hotaki in 1725. While his cousin Ashraf ruled most of Persia from Isfahan, Hussain ruled what is now Afghanistan from Kandahar.

Ashraf Khan's death marked the end of the very short lived Hotaki rule in Persia (Iran), but what is now Afghanistan was still under Hussain' control until 1738 when Nader Shah conquered it. It was only a short pause before the establishment of the last Afghan Empire and the predecessor of modern Afghanistan in 1747.
