Mian Yar Muhammad Kalhoro (Sindhi: يار محمد ڪلهوڙو) was the subahdar of parts of Sindh, in present-day Pakistan, which he governed between 1701 and 1719. He was the first governor of the Kalhora dynasty.

Yar Muhammad Kalhoro was responsible for the construction of Jamia Mosque in Khudabad.[citation needed] His tomb is sited 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) west of Khudabad.[1]

Yar Muhammad and Deen Muhammad were sons of Mian Nasir Muhammad Kalhoro who was succeeded by his elder son, Deen Muhammad Kalhoro, in 1692.[2] Later, Yar Muhammad Kalhoro became chieftain of the Kalhora clan[3][dead link] after his brother was imprisoned and killed in Multan jail by Prince Muiz-ud-Din Muhammad, the governor of Multan, in 1700. He was founder of Kalhora dynasty in Sindh.[4]
