Abdulla Zakirov (27 February 1918 – 3 December 1981) was a Chinese politician who held high-ranking positions in his native Xinjiang. A Uyghur from the far-western city of Yining (Ghulja), he was a leader of the East Turkestan Revolutionary Party before joining the Chinese Communist Party after the incorporation of Xinjiang into the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949. His son Shohrat Zakir also became a prominent politician of the PRC.
