[[File:The procession of Yusef Ali Khan.jpg|thumb|400px|''The Procession of Yusef Ali Khan''. A painting depicting Yusef Khan on his way to the encampment of [[Charles Canning, 1st Earl Canning|Lord Canning]] for the [[durbar (court)|durbar]] held at [[Fatehgarh]] on 15 November 1859]]
'''[[Nawab]] Muhammad Yusef Ali Khan Bahadur''', [[Order of the Star of India|KSI]], (5 March 1816 – 21 April 1865) was a [[Nawab]] of the [[princely state]] of [[Rampur, Uttar Pradesh|Rampur]] from 1855 to 1865. During the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857|First War of Independence]], he rendered many useful services to the [[Government of India]] by keeping the British supply and communication lines to [[Naini Tal]] open, rescuing fugitives and securing the town of [[Moradabad]]. For his service, he was granted extensive lands in [[Bareilly]] by the [[Viceroy of India]], [[Lord Canning]], was [[knight]]ed in 1861 and given a 13-[[gun salute]] along with the style of ''His Highness''. Finally, he was made a member of the Viceroy's Council. Despite this multitude of honours, Sir Yusef continued to preserve the [[Mughal era|Mughal]] artistic tradition by inviting musicians, scholars and artists of [[Bahadur Shah Zafar II]]'s court to resettle at Rampur, including the great poet [[Ghalib]]. Dying at 49 in 1865, he was succeeded by his son, Sir [[Kalb Ali Khan Bahadur]].{{cn|date=August 2020}}

Shortly before he died, the Yusef Ali Khan promoted the formation of the '''Bank of Rohilkund''' (or '''Bank of Rohilkhand'''), over the objection of local moneylenders.<ref>''Indian Journal of History of Science'', 1982, Volumes 17-18, p.112.</ref> It was established in 1862, just after the acceptance of limited liability for banks. The bank was the first promoted by a princely state. It too was a small bank and was amalgamated into the [[Oudh Commercial Bank]], which failed in 1958.<ref>Tripathi (2004), p.136.</ref>
