Jinnat Ali (1996 – 28 April 2020) was a Bangladeshi citizen. He was the tallest person in Bangladesh. When he was eleven, Ali's body suddenly started to grow unusually fast. His body continued to grow at the age of 23. His growth was caused by acromegalic gigantism, a condition caused by a tumor on his pituitary gland.

Ali died on 28 April 2020 of brain cancer in Chittagong, Bangladesh at the age of 23.
