Painda Khan (d. 1635), also sometimes spelt as Painde Khan in Sikh chronicles, was the son of Fateh Khan, an Afghan resident of the village of Alimpur, 7 km northeast of Kartarpur in the present Jalandhar district of the Punjab. His parents died while he was still very young, and he was brought up by his maternal uncle, Isma'il Khan, of Vadda Mir, also near Kartarpur. According to Gurbilas Chhevm Patshahi, Isma'il Khan along with his 16 year old nephew and some other Pathans of his village, once accompanied a Sikh sangat proceeding to Amritsar on the occasion of Divali to see Guru Hargobind.
