Abdur Rahman Khan (Pashto: عبد رحمان خان‎) (between 1830 to 1844 – October 1 1901) was Emir of Afghanistan from 1880 to 1901. He was the third son of Mohammad Afzal Khan and grandson of Dost Mohammad Khan. Abdur Rahman Khan was considered a strong ruler who re-established the writ of the Afghan government after the disarray that followed the second Anglo-Afghan war. He became known as The Iron Amir after defeating a number of rebellions by various tribes who were led by his relatives.
