Ali Dinar (Arabic: علي دينار‎) (1856 – November 6, 1916) was a Sultan of the Sultanate of Darfur and ruler from the Keira dynasty.

A rebellion led by him in 1915—in the context of his giving his support to the Ottoman Empire during the First World War—provoked the British to launch a punitive expedition, the Anglo-Egyptian Darfur Expedition, in which he was killed.
