The phrase Ali brothers, in Indian history, refers to the two brothers:
- Shaukat Ali (politician) (1873–1938)
- Mohammad Ali Jauhar (1878–1931)
The Ali brothers, Muhammad Ali Jauhar and Shaukat Ali, were active in the Khilafat movement in India. Both studied in Aligarh Muslim University. They served a prison sentence for inciting Indian Muslims against the British to protect the Khalifat in Turkey.
The brothers were released from prison in 1919.
