Hakim Syed Fazlur Rahman (1912–1994) was a noted Unani physician from Tijara and Bhopal.

Syed Fazlur Rahman (8th Muharram 1331AH/18 December 1912 – 27th Rajab 1414AH/10 January 1994) belonged to the family of Gardēzī Sadaat. Being ‘Hakim’ by profession, he also had deep interest in mysticism (Tasawwuf) and Sufism. He followed Sufi path as he had great faith (‘Aqidah’) over the ‘Huwalshaafi’, which is in effect a physician of the heart, able to diagnose the seeker's hindrance to knowledge and pure intention in serving the God, and to prescribe to the seeker a course of treatment appropriate to his or her maladies. Through both devotional practices of Sufism and Unani, he treated many patients by serving Ta'wiz and drugs.

He was closely associated with the shrine of Sufi saint Khwaja Khanoon (Shah-e-Willayat) and Muhammad Ghawth Gwaliyari. He used to attend Urs of Hazrat Khwaja Khanoon Sahib every year at his Dargah. He also published a book (Jalwa-e Khanoon), which is basically a compilation of Poems composed in praise of Shah-e-Willayat Hazrat Khwaja Khanoon Sahib, published from Roohani Academy, Gwalior in 1965.

Apart from 'Jalwa-e Khanoon', he authored 'Usool-e Sehat' and 'Yaad-e Nazir' in addition to memoirs of Iraq's visit.

In 1954, Hakim Syed Fazlur Rahman along with Sajjada Nashin Khwaja Hameeduddin Shah Khanooni, the grandfather of the present Sajjada Nashin Khwaja Rashid Khanooni, went for Ziyarat to many cities of Iraq like Karbala, Basra, Samarra, Najaf to visit the tomb of Imām Ali, Kufa to visit Masjid al-Kufa, Kazmain to visit Al-Kadhimiya Mosque, Baghdad to visit the shrine and mosque of Ghaus al Azam Shaikh Abdul Qadir Gilani and the mosque of Abū Ḥanīfa.
