The Sindh Hari Committee (Sindhi: سنڌ هاري ڪميٽي) was a leftist and Sindhi nationalist political organization in Sindh, Pakistan that sought to promote the interests of the Haris (landless peasant farmers) of Sindh. It was founded in 1930 by G. M. Syed.[1] In 1947, Hyder Bux Jatoi took over as president of the committee until his death in 1970.[2] In 1957, it became a constituent party of the National Awami Party.[3]

Subsequent leaders included Azhar Jatoi (1962–2020), grandson of Hyder Bux Jatoi.[4]
