Munawar Ali Khan (Devanagari: मुनावर अली ख़ान) (1930 - 1989) was a Hindustani classical singer of the Patiala Gharana.

He was the younger son of the doyen of the Kasur Patiala gharana, Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. Musical guidance for the young master came at the feet of his father. He accompanied his father to all his concerts until he died in 1968. Subsequently, Munawar Ali Khan started giving solo concerts.

For some reason Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan did not encourage Munawar to develop as a solo performer while he was alive and Munawar Ali Khan could never establish himself as an eminent solo singer even though he was very talented.

Ustad Munawar Ali Khan died in 1989, at the relatively young age of 59.
