Abdul Latif Chowdhury Fultali (Bengali: আব্দুল লতিফ চৌধুরী ফুলতলী; 25 May 1913 – 16 January 2008), reverentially known as Saheb Qiblah, was a late-twentieth-century Bangladeshi Islamic scholar, mufassir, qāriʾ, poet and orator. As a prolific author, he completed several works in Arabic, Bengali and Urdu including Muntakhab as-Siyār and Anwar as-Sālikīn. His books are part of syllabic studies under the Bangladesh Madrasah Education Board. Fultali was the leading figure of the Islamic Arabic University movement and the demand for fazil and kamil qualifications to be recognized as bachelor's and master's degrees. He is the founder of several influential organisations and institutions in Bangladesh and the United Kingdom such as Anjumane Al Islah, Hazrat Shahjalal Darussunnah Yaqubia Kamil Madrasa and Madrasah-e-Darul Qirat Majidiah.

He was the founder of Darul Hadis Latifiah In London, one of the oldest private Islamic institutes.
