The All India Shia Political Conference (Urdu: آل انڈیا تشیع پولیٹیکل کانفرنس‎), commonly called the Shia Political Conference was a political party in British India that was organized in Lucknow in 1929.[1]

In October 1937, it urged its members to support the Indian National Congress, a decision which was praised by Nehru.[2]

The All India Shia Political Conference included provincial units, with notable individuals in leadership positions, such as Sir Sultan Ahmad of the Bihar unit, who denounced Jinnah in April 1940.[3]

In the Shia Political Conference meeting held at Chapra on 18 April 1940, the pro-separatist Muslim League's Lahore Resolution was condemned; notable members in attendance included Yahya Nazim, Syed Hasan Askari, Mozaffar Husain, Ali Muzaffar, Abdul Aziz Ansari, as well as Shabbir Hasan, who presided over the meeting.[3]

The All India Shia Political Conference was a member at the All India Azad Muslim Conference, which opposed the partition of India and creation of Pakistan.[4]
