Hasan-Ali Khan Daghestani (d. 1721) was a Safavid official of Lezgian origin, who served as the governor (beglarbeg) of Shirvan (1718) and of Shamakhi (hakem; March 1720–1721). He was the nephew of the Safavid vizier Fath-Ali Khan Daghestani. During his tenure in Shirvan, the Lezgins of the Safavid domains in southern Dagestan and eastern Georgia (of the Qaniq valley) rose in revolt, ravaging Shirvan and completely defeating Hasan-Ali Khan's forces at Shaki. During his tenure in Shamakhi, he set out with a large Safavid force to defend against another Lezgin incursion, but the latter fell upon them at dawn, which resulted in the death of both Hasan-Ali Khan Daghestani as well as a large number of his forces in the districts of Shaki.
