Fazlullah Hayat (1974 – 15 June 2018) was an Islamist jihadist militant who served as the third emir of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) from 2013 until his death in 2018. He was also the leader of the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi. He became the emir of the TTP in 2013, and presided over the descent of the group into factions who are often at conflict with each other.
Fazlullah was designated by the Al-Qaida and Taliban Sanctions Committee of the UN Security Council in 2015, and was added to the U.S. State Department's Rewards for Justice wanted list on 7 March 2018. Fazlullah was killed in June 2018 by a U.S. drone strike in Kunar, Afghanistan.
