Sayyid Abd al-Husayn Ali al-Killdar Tumah (Arabic: عبد الحسين علي الكليدار آل طعمه; 1881–March 30, 1961) was an Iraqi nobleman, author, scholar, and served as the 33rd and 37th custodian of the Imam Husayn shrine from 1900 until 1931.[1][2][3][4]

He authored a number of books on the history and culture of Karbala, including Baghiyat al-Nubala Fi Tarikh Karbala and Tarikh Al Tumah al-Musawiyeen.[5] Famous Iraqi author and laureate, Salih Shahristani writes about al-Killidar: "I would never miss a meeting with him. I would gain so much from his knowledge, literary, and mannerism".[6]
