Nurul Amin (English IPA:nʊɾul əmin, Bengali: নূরুল আমীন, Urdu: نورالامین‎, 15 July 1893 – 2 October 1974), referred to as the Patriot of Pakistan, was a prominent Pakistani leader, jurist, national conservative, and Party Chairman of the Muslim League, the founding party of Pakistan.

Starting his statesmanship in 1948 as Chief minister of East Bengal, he headed the Ministry of Supply. After participating in parliamentary elections in 1970, Amin was appointed and served as the eighth Prime Minister of Pakistan. He was the first and the only Vice President of Pakistan from 1970 till 1972, leading Pakistan in the Indo-Pakistani war of 1971.

An anti-war and principal Pakistan movement activist, Amin is considered a patriot who worked to keep Pakistan united. He initially opposed the creation of Bangladesh during the Bangladesh Liberation War – but after the 25 March massacre, devoted his position to reopening communication channels between the warring sides, curbing wartime crimes and repatriating stranded Bangladeshis in West Pakistan.
