Sheikh Chilli or Sheikh Chehli or Shaikh Chilli was a Sufi scholar of the Qadriya order in India. Although his name is the subject of debate, he is often referred to as Abd-ur-Rahim Abdul-Karim Abd-ur-Razak, and described as a Sufi saint. He is buried at Sheikh Chilli's Tomb, located on a hill in Thanesar, Kurukshetra, in Haryana. Built out of white marble and sandstone with a pearl-shaped dome, the tomb complex of Sheikh Chilli is often compared to the Taj Mahal due to its sophisticated Mughal architecture. It was likely built by Mughal prince Dara Shikoh, the eldest son of emperor Shah Jahan. Recent scholarship suggests that Sheikh Chilli may have been a teacher at the madrassa next to the tomb.
