Sayyid Ali Tirmizi (), more commonly known as Pir Baba (), was a Naqvi Sayyid, and a Sufi who settled in Buner (present-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan) among the Yusufzai Pashtuns. He was probably born in 908 AH (1502 CE), in Fergana (present-day Uzbekistan), of Sayyid descent, died in AH 991 (1583 CE). He was a supporter of the Mughal emperor Babar, and was an opponent of Bayazid Pir Roshan. It is claimed that Pir Baba was the son of Sayyid Qamar Ali, who was in emperor Babur's army and had come down to Delhi as the governor  of the Indian state. His mother was of Uzbek origin. Baba was more inclined towards Islamic studies. Baba supposedly married a sister of Daulat Khan a Yusufzai; a respected Pashtun from Buner. He had 2 sons, Sayyid Habibullāh Shaah and Sayyid Mustafa Shaah.
