Nawab Wazir Khan (d. 1710), a resident of Kuhjpura, near Karnal , now in Haryana, was the faujdar (leader) of Sirhind under the Mughals in the opening years of the eighteenth century. The hill chiefs who held territories in the Sivalik ranges often sought his help against Guru Gobind Singh, then living in their midst at Anandpur.
