Raja Hossain Khan (1938 – March 6, 1989), was a music director, composer and violin player from Bangladesh. He came from a musical family, and was the nephew of multi-instrumentalist and music teacher Alauddin Khan, and Ayet Ali Khan.[1][failed verification]
Born in Brahmanbaria as the youngest son of Nayeb Ali Khan, he began his music lessons in violin with his father. Later he went to Kolkata to continue his higher training from his cousin Bahadur Khan, a sarod player, under whom he studied for a period of three years. He then took music lessons from Ali Akbar Khan, another cousin, and also from his eldest brother Khadem Hossain Khan.[citation needed]
