Shams ud-Din Ataga Khan (died 16 May 1562) was a prominent figure in the court of the Mughal emperor Akbar.
He held important positions in Akbar's court, including that of wakil (advisor or minister), to which he was appointed in November 1561, much to displeasure of Maham Anga, another prominent advisor, whose son, Adham Khan, murdered him in 1562. Ataga Khan was the husband of Jiji Anga, one of Akbar's wet nurses.
