Tomb of Mian Ghulam Shah Kalhoro (1757-1772) is a religious shrine situated in Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan. The shrine is the National Heritage Monument of Pakistan. It is the burial place of Mian Ghulam Shah Kalhoro who's believed to be the founder of the city of Hyderabad in Pakistan as well as the second most important figure in Sindh after Shah Abdul Latif Bhattai.

The Mausoleum of Kalhoro is 56×56 in width and 36 feet in height. The shrine is built inside a rectangular shaped fort. Over the years due to ignorance the tomb's gradually converting into a graveyard as no-one's able to stop the locals who bury their dead here. The interior of the tomb is a wonderful example of Sindhi art which is decorated with gildings, arc shaped windows and tiles. The arc-shaped windows are filled with terracotta grilles of geometrical patterns.
