Rustam Dil Khan (died September 1708) was a noble of the Mughal Empire during the reign of emperor Aurangzeb. His activities were centred around the Mughal province of Hyderabad Subah, which he administered as deputy subahdar (governor) for most of his official career. He was killed by prince Kam Bakhsh during the war of succession after Aurangzeb's death, as the prince attempted a bid for independent rule in the Deccan. He is buried in the Kali Masjid, a mosque he built in the city of Hyderabad.
