Moulvi Muhammad Amiruddin was an Indian politician from Assam. He was the first Deputy Speaker of the Assam Legislative Assembly from 7 April 1937 to 2 March 1946.[1][2]

He is from Kalikajari, a small village in Morigaon. He was active in the freedom struggle and went to prison many times.[3]

He was elected from the then Nowgong Mohammedan East constituency as an independent candidate. He took a stand against Muslim League and reportedly supported the then premier Gopinath Bordoloi, who prevented a ploy to merge Assam with Pakistan.[1]

In 2018, many of his close family members, including his grand nephew Rafikul Islam, were termed as 'foreigners' by the Foreigners’ Tribunal in Assam as part of the National Register of Citizens.[4]
