A portrait of Abdollah Khan

Abdollah Khan (Persian: عبدالله خان; 1779–1847), also known by his honorific Amin ol-Dowleh (Persian: امین‌الدوله, lit.'Trustee of the Realm'), was the chief revenue accountant or minister of finance (mostowfi ol-mamalek) and later prime minister under the Qajar shah Fath-Ali Shah (r.1797–1834).

He was born as the oldest son of the former prime minister Hajji Mohammad Hossein Isfahani (1758–1823). It appears that his mother was a daughter of a petty chief from the Bakhtiari clan. He was born in Isfahan, and also served as its governor during his career.[1][2]
