Muhammad Munir Nanautavi (1831–1904) was an Indian Islamic scholar, administrator, and freedom fighter associated with the Deobandi movement. He was a disciple of prominent scholars such as Mamluk Ali Nanautavi, Sadruddin Khan Azurda Dehlawi, and Shah Abdul Ghani Dehlavi. He actively participated in the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and played a key role in the Battle of Shamli. Following the uprising, he devoted himself to education and became a teacher at Bareilly College. In 1894, he was appointed the fourth rector (muhtamim) of Darul Uloom Deoband, a position he held for a brief period before resigning in 1895. He was also known for his contributions to Islamic literature, particularly in Sufism and Hanafi jurisprudence.
