Air-Marshal Sharbat Ali Changezi (Urdu: شربت على ݘݩگݐڒی; b. 10 March 1932),[1] HI(m), SI(m), SJ, is a retired three-star air officer in the Pakistan Air Force and a former fighter pilot who led the aerial operations in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965.[2][3][4]

In 1955, Changezi notably refused to meet the Afghan Monarch Zahir Shah, while he was on visit to Pakistan, because of the ill-treatment meted out to the Hazara people in Afghanistan.[5]
