Sir Khwaja Nazimuddin KCIE (19 July 1894 – 22 October 1964) was a East Pakistani (now Bangladesh) politician and statesman who served as the second governor-general of Pakistan from 1948 to 1951, and then as the second prime minister of Pakistan from 1951 to 1953.

Born into an aristocratic Nawab family in Bengal, he was educated at Aligarh Muslim University before pursuing post-graduation studies at the Cambridge University. Upon returning, he embarked on his journey as a politician on the platform of the All-India Muslim League. His political career initially revolved around advocating for educational reforms in Bengal, later focusing on supporting the Pakistan Movement, a campaign for a separate Muslim homeland. Nazimuddin rose to popularity as the party's principal Bengali leader and a close associate of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. He served as Prime Minister of Bengal in British India from 1943 to 1945, and later as the 1st chief minister of East Bengal in independent Pakistan from 1947 to 1948.
