Ali ibn Ismail (Arabic: علی ابن اسماعیل) was born in Medina Saudi Arabia in 135 AH and was the second son of Isma'il ibn Jafar and grand son of Jafar al Sadiq. Isma'ilism followed his father Isma'il ibn Jafar as 6th Imam. He left Baghdad and obeyed Musa al-Kadhim as he ordered him to migrate to Iran.

Some Shia's claim that he showed dishonesty with Musa al-Kadhim But the source is unknown and not acceptable by other schools of thoughts in Islam even most of Shia's refused the statement of this blame.

Isma'ilism is following his brother Muhammad ibn Isma'il as a successor of Ismail ibn Jafar.

During time period of Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid he was in Kufah with his brother Muhammad ibn Isma'il. After the death of Muhammad he returned to his uncle Musa al-Kadhim. He ordered him to leave Baghdad and migrate to Iran. He played an active role against the Abbasid Caliphate of the time to save and assist Musa ibn Jafar. He raised voice against murder of Ali al-Ridha in Mashhad who was poisoned by Al-Ma'mun. Ma'mun sent his forces towards him but he saved himself and migrated to Bukhara.

He was martyred by Abbasid forces by Al-Mutawakkil in 242 AH at Mashhad Iran.
