Ustad Amanat Ali Khan (1922 – 1974) was a Pakistani classical singer and a prominent figure in the Patiala Gharana, a tradition of music known for its rich and powerful style of singing. Born in Hoshiarpur, Punjab, British India, he was part of a lineage of distinguished musicians; music ran deep in his blood with his father, Akhtar Hussain Khan, and grandfather, Ali Bakhsh Khan, being noteworthy figures in the world of music. Along with his brother Ustad Fateh Ali Khan, Amanat Ali was heralded for his extraordinary command of classical music, which earned him a highly revered status among connoisseurs of South Asian music.

Amanat Ali specialized in ghazals, a poetic form steeped in romance and philosophy. His soul-stirring renditions showcased a profound understanding of poetry and an ability to imbue each lyric with emotive depth—qualities that are immortalized in his recordings. His works, such as "Ustad Amanat Ali Khan Ghazals, Vol. 1" and "Ustad Amanat Ali Khan Sings Ghazals", are treasured not only for their melodic beauty but also for their technical virtuosity. His legacy is further carried on by his son, Asad Amanat Ali Khan, who was also a well-known Ghazal singer. Although Ustad Amanat Ali Khan's life was cut short when he tragically passed away at the age of 52, his voice continues to echo through the Subcontinent, leaving an indelible mark on the history of South Asian music.
