Mirzali Khan Wazir (Urdu: ميرزالي خان‬‎, Pashto: حاجي ميرزالي خان وزير‎; b. 1897, d. 16 April 1960), also known as the Faqir of Ipi or Ipi Faqir (ايپي فقير), was a Pashtun tribal leader and warrior from the Utmanzai Wazir tribe, in today's Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. After performing the Hajj pilgrimage in 1923, Mirzali Khan was granted the title Haji, and settled in Ipi, a village located near Mirali in North Waziristan, from where he started his campaign of guerrilla warfare against the British Empire. In 1938, Mirzali Khan shifted from Ipi to Gurwek, a remote village in Waziristan on the border with Afghanistan, where he declared an independent state and continued the raids against the British Empire, from bases in Afghanistan, with the support of Nazi Germany.

In June 1947, Mirzali Khan, along with his allies, including the Khudai Khidmatgars and members of the Provincial Assembly, declared the Bannu Resolution. The resolution demanded that the Pashtuns be given a third choice to have an independent state of Pashtunistan, composing all Pashtun majority territories of British India, instead of being made to join only either India or Pakistan. The British refused to comply with the demand of this resolution, and no other group in British India was granted a third option.
