Chaudhry Mohammad Ali (Punjabi, Urdu: چوہدری محمد علی; 15 July 1905 – 2 December 1980) was the fourth Prime Minister of Pakistan and a civil service officer. He led the country for only one year, from 12 August 1955 to 12 September 1956, but was credited with introducing its 1956 Constitution.
His son, Khalid Anwer, is a well-known lawyer and constitutional expert, and a former federal minister for law, justice and human rights.
Ali was born in Jalandhar, India, in 1905. He earned a Master of Science degree from Punjab University in 1927 and was commissioned into the Indian Civil Service.
He began his career in the financial sector of the Indian government and was one of the highest-ranking Muslim civil servants in the British Raj. In 1936, he began working for the Audit and Accounts Service, serving as the state accountant for Bahawalpur.
In 1945, Ali joined the British government and became the first Indian to be appointed financial adviser to the Secretary of State for War, Percy James Grigg. Before India gained its independence in 1947, he worked with Hirubhai M. Patel (a future finance and home minister of India) and Walter John Christie to prepare a document titled The Administrative Consequences of Partition.
