Lotf-Ali Khan Daghestani

Lotf-Ali Khan Daghestani was a Safavid official of Lezgian origin, who served as the governor (beglarbeg) of Fars from 22 October 1717 to December 1720.^[1] The appointment of Lotf-Ali Khan Daghestani in 1717 as beglarbeg of Fars brought the reach of the jurisdiction of the latter province, for the first time, close to that what it had been during the tenure of Allahverdi Khan, more than a century earlier.^[2] He was either the nephew, brother-in-law, or paternal uncle of the Safavid grand vizier, Fath-Ali Khan Daghestani (1716–1720).^[3] At the same time of Fath-Ali Khan's downfall, Lotf-Ali Khan was arrested and thrown into jail.^[3]
