Nawab Ganar Khan (Bengali: গনর খান, romanized: Gonor Khan, Persian: گنر خان), also spelt Ganer Khan, was the final dependent Faujdar of Mughal Bengal's Sylhet Sarkar. He was the last Muslim to govern Sylhet although his rule was titular and did not hold much true authority. He held the title of Nawab. Ganar's name was peculiar and uncommon although it is suggested to be the Persian word meaning a soldier at an artillery-house.
