Syed Ibrahim Khan (1548-1628) was an Indian poet. He became a devotee of the Hindu deity Krishna. He was born in Pihani (Hardoi)[unreliable source?] His birth name was Saiyad Ibrahim and Raskhan was his initiated name in Hindi. In his early years, he became a follower of Krishna, learned the bhakti marga from Vitthalanathaji and began living in Vrindavan, where he spent the rest of his life. He accepted Krishna as the supreme god (Svayam Bhagavan) and became a Vaishnava. He left for Goloka in 1628 AD. His samadhi is at Mahaban, about six miles east of Mathura.


His samadhi shrine today stands in a forested area between Mahaban and Gokul in the Mathura district. The site was restored in 2023, along with the tomb of poetess Taj Bibi (Taj Begum) also situated nearby.
