'''Najm ud-din Ali Khan''', better known as '''Najm-ud-Daulah''' (or '''Nazam-ud-Daulah''') ({{lang-bn|নাজিমুদ্দীন আলী খান}}; ca. 1747– 8 May 1766), was the [[Nawab of Bengal]], [[Bihar]] and [[Orissa, India|Orissa]] from 1765 to 1766. He was the second son of [[Mir Jafar]].<br />
<br />
Najm-ud-Daulah was crowned as the Nawab following the death of his father [[Mir Jafar]]. During his coronation he was only 15 years old. He ascended to the throne on February 5, 1765.<br />
<br />
In 1765 after the victory in the [[Battle of Buxar]] the British had formally gained ''[[Dewan]]i'' of [[Bengal]], Bihar and [[Orissa, India|Orissa]] from [[Shah Alam II]]. The Nawab formally conferred this ''Dewani'' to the British on September 30, 1765.<br />
<br />
Najmuddin died soon afterwards, on May 8, 1766, apparently from a fever caught at a formal party given at [[Murshidabad]] fort in honour of [[Robert Clive]]. He was buried at [[Jafraganj Cemetery]] and was succeeded by his younger brother Nawab Nazim [[Najabat Ali Khan]].<br />
<br />
==Life==<br />
<br />
===Birth===<br />
Nazam-ud-Daulah was the son of [[Munni Begum (noble)]] and Mir Jafar.<br />
<br />
Nazam-ud-Daulah was appointed as Mir Jafar's heir with the title of ''Murshidzada Bahadur'', by Mir Jafar himself on 29 January 1764.<br />
<br />
===Reign as a Nawab===<br />
After the death of Mir Jafar Nawab Nazim Najm-ud-din Ali Khan succeeded him to the [[Nawab of Bengal|Nawab's]] throne under the titles of ''Shuja-ul-Mulk'' (Hero of the Country), ''Nazam-ud-Daulah'' (Star of the State) and ''Mahabat Jang'' (Horror in War) at the age of 15 on February 5, 1765; it was confirmed by the [[East India Company]] on February 23, 1765. This cost him £140,000 which was divided among the members of the [[Calcutta Council]].<br />
<br />
==Death and succession==<br />
Nawab Nazim Najm-ud-din Ali Khan died on May 8, 1766 of fever he caught at a party, which was given in honour of [[Robert Clive]]. The Nawab was buried at [[Jafarganj Cemetery]] on the west of his father, Mir Jafar's grave. The Nawab was childless. [[Najabat Ali Khan]], Nazim-ud-din's brother, according to [[Mohammedan]] law was the right successor of the late [[Nawab of Bengal|Nawab]], on the throne. Thus, Najim-ud-din was succeeded by his brother as [[Najabat Ali Khan|Nawab Nazim Najabat Ali Khan]].<br />
