Sir Muhammad Akbar Nazar Ali Hydari, Sadr ul-Maham, PC (1869–1941) was an Indian politician. He served as the Prime Minister of Hyderabad State from 18 March 1937 to September 1941.
Hydari was born on 8 November 1869 into a Sulaymani Bohra family of Muslims. His father was Seth Nazar Ali Hydari, a businessman based in Bombay.
Hydari was educated at St. Xavier's College in Bombay and from 1888 worked in the civil service of British India. In 1905, he entered the service of the Nizam of Hyderabad and held various senior positions. He oversaw the expansion of the school system and the reform of state finances. Hydari planned the establishment of Osmania University.
Hydari served in the Indian Audit and Accountancy Service before moving to Hyderabad State where he became the finance minister and later the prime minister.
In 1920, he spent a short period back in British India as chief accountant in Bombay. After returning to Hyderabad, he headed the Department of Police, Justice, and General Affairs. In 1921, he became head of the Finance Department. Hydari also led the state railway company and the Hyderabad (Deccan) Company. From 1930 to 1931, he headed Hyderabad's delegation to the First Round Table Conference on India's future in London.
On 13 March 1937, Hydari was appointed Prime Minister and head of the Executive Council, succeeding Kishen Pershad. In July 1941, he was appointed a member of the Viceroy's Executive Council., after which he was succeeded as Prime Minister by Sayyad Hafiz Mohammed Ahmed, Nawab of Chhatari, and moved to New Delhi.
Hydari was also interested in archaeology and was involved in the establishment of the Archaeological Department in Hyderabad. The collection of miniature paintings he acquired was bequeathed to the Prince Albert Museum, now the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, in Bombay and the State Archaeological Museum in Hyderabad.
Hydari was pivotal in the foundation of the Doon School, working to obtain the former estate of the Forest Research Institute, in Dehradun, from the government on favourable terms for the site of the school. Of the four original houses Hyderabad House was named after Akbar Hydari, who secured a contribution from Nizam of Hyderabad's government.
