Sir Fazli Hussain, KCSI (14 June 1877 – 9 July 1936) was a politician during the British Raj and a founding member of the Unionist Party of the Punjab.
== Early life and education == Husain was born in Peshawar to a Bhatti Rajput family of Punjabi origins hailing from Gurdaspur in 1877. His Rajput ancestors moved to Punjab from Bikaner and Jaisalmer in modern-day Rajasthan around the year 1500, having converted to Islam and entered the civil administration and the military forces of the Mughal Empire from Babur onward. His father Mian Husain Bakhsh was at the time serving as Extra Assistant Commissioner in Peshawar. At the age of sixteen he entered Government College, Lahore and graduated with a BA in 1897. In 1896, he married Muhammad Nisa, great-granddaughter of Ilahi Bakhsh, the renowned general of the Sikh Khalsa Army.
