Jamal al-Din Saoji (Persian: جمال الدین ساوجى), also known as Jamaluddin Sawochi or Jamaluddin Savi, (d. c. 1232–33 CE) was a Persian Sufi saint and ascetic, widely recognized as the founder and master of the Qalandariyya order. He is remembered for his radical renunciation of worldly life, his symbolic practices of self-denial, and for shaping the Qalandari movement that later spread across the Middle East, South Asia, and Anatolia. He is also revered as a grand spiritual master of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar of Sehwan Sharif (Pakistan) through his disciple Hazrat Ibrahim Mujarrad.
