Ghiyath al-Din Pir Ahmad Khvafi was a Persian[1] statesman who was the vizier of the Timurid ruler Shah Rukh (r. 1405–1447) from 1417 to 1447.[2] He played a key role in reforming the Timurid bureaucratic administration.[3] After his vizierate ended, he worked under several Timurid princes, including Abdal-Latif Mirza, Ala al-Dawla Mirza, Sultan-Muhammad and Abul-Qasim Babur Mirza.[4] He died in 1453.[5]

He was survived by his son, Majd al-Din Muhammad Khvafi, who was also vizier.[6]
