Inayatullah Khan Seraj (October 20, 1888 – August 12, 1946) was the king of Afghanistan from 14 January 1929 to 17 January 1929. He was the son of Habibullah Khan. His brief reign ended with his abdication.
In the middle of the night, Amanullah Khan handed over his kingship to his brother Inayatullah Khan Seraj and escaped Kabul towards Kandahar. Habibullah Ghazi and his band chased Amanullah Khan on horseback but they managed to escape.
With the King gone, in January 1929, Habibullah Ghazi wrote a letter to King Inayatullah to either surrender or prepare to fight. Inayatullah's response was that he had never sought nor wished to be king and agreed to abdicate and proclaim Habibullah Ghazi as king.
