Muzaffar Khan Sadozai (1757 – 2 June 1818) was the Saddoza'i Pashtun ruler of Multan from 1780 to 1818, initially as a governor for the Afghan Durrani dynasty of Kabul (1780 – 1809), and later as a vassal of Ranjit Singh (1802 – 1818). He declared independence from the Durrani Empire after the fall of Shuja Shah Durrani in 1809, but was killed fighting against the Sikh army during the siege of Multan in 1818.
