Haji Ebrahim Khan Kalantar was the kalantar (mayor) of Shiraz who in 1791 betrayed the last Zand ruler, Lotf Ali Khan, and handed the city to Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar. He became the first grand vizier of the Qajar dynasty and kept the post under Fath-Ali Shah, until the shah, fearing his power, had him and his family seized and executed in 1801.
