Inayetullah Khān (Bengali language: ইনায়েতউল্লাহ খান , Persian: عنایت الله خان‎), also known as Enayetullah (Bengali language: এনায়েতউল্লাহ ), was a Faujdar of the Mughal Bengal's Sylhet Sarkar. He was the successor of Sadeq Khan as faujdar.

Life[]

In 1692, Khan granted land to Ram Jivan Chowdhury in Baurbhag Pargana.[1] He also gave land to Mustafi Haji in Isamati Pargana.[2] The little town (now a Union Parishad) of Inatganj Bazar in Nabiganj was founded and named after him. Inatganj became a centre for the Asian Jute trade. The current Inatganj High School was originally a jute warehouse. Many ships would crowd in the banks of Inatganj Bazar, and go to many corners of the world, and evidence of this remains at the present high school.[3] He preceded Faujdar Rafiullah Khan.[4]
