Sardar Ibrahim Khan (Urdu: سردار ابراہیم خان, pronounced [sər'da:r ɪbra:'ɦi:m xa:n]; 22 April 1915 – 31 July 2003) was a revolutionary leader and politician from the western region of Jammu and Kashmir (present-day Azad Kashmir), who led the 1947 Poonch Rebellion against the Maharaja in the state of Jammu and Kashmir and played a key role in the First Kashmir War, supporting Pakistan. He served as the President of Azad Kashmir for 13 years across four non-consecutive terms and still remains the longest-serving president of the state, since its establishment.
He is revered as Ghazi-e-Millat (Warrior of the Nation) in Azad Kashmir.
