Ebrahim Shah Afshar (? – 1748) was king of Persia from July to September of 1748. He was Adil Shah's brother and Nadir Shah's nephew. He toppled his brother in order to seize the power, and blinded him on July 6. However, only two months later his own troops rebel led against him, and slew him on September 24, thus ending his short reign. After him, Nadir's grandson, Shahrokh was elected by the nobles to ascend to the throne.
