Mohammad Iftikhar Ali Khan Siddiqui Pataudi (1910-1952), Nawab of Pataudi, was an Indian prince and cricket player. He played Test cricket for the England team in 1932 and 1934 and was the captain of India's national cricket team during 1946. His son, Nawab Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, also served as the captain during his career with the Indian cricket team.

Pataudi was the Nawab of the state of Pataudi during the British Raj from 1917 until 1947. When India became independent from Britain, he was allowed to keep the title of Nawab until his death in 1952.

After playing cricket at university in Oxford, England, Pataudi qualified to play for Worcestershire County Cricket Club in 1932. Later that year, he was selected to play for England in the 1932-33 Ashes series and won 'Wisden Cricketer of the Year'. In 1946, he moved back to India to captain their cricket team. He intended to return to England but suffered a fatal heart attack before he had the chance.
