Inayatullah Khan Seraj (October 20, 1888 – August 12, 1946) was the king of Afghanistan from 14 January 1929 to 17 January 1929. He was son of Habibullah Khan. His brief reign ended with his abdication.

In the Middle of the night, Amanullah hands over his kingdom to his brother Enayatullah Khan Seraj and escapes Kabul towards Kandahar in his Rolls Royce. Habibullah Ghazi and his band chases Amanullah Khan on horseback but they are no match for the royal car.

With the King gone, in January 1929, Habibullah Ghazi writes a letter to King Inayatullah to either surrender or prepare to fight. Inayatullah's response was that he had never sought nor wishes to be king and agrees to abdicate and proclaim Habibullah Ghazi as king.
