Hyder Ali, also spelled Haidar Ali, was a prominent Indian military commander and the Sultan of Mysore who played a significant role in the history of southern India during the 18th century. Born in 1720 in Budikote, a village in the Kolar district of present-day Karnataka, Hyder Ali rose from relative obscurity to become one of the most formidable rulers in the region. His ascent to power began as a soldier in the Mysore army, where his tactical acumen and leadership skills quickly distinguished him. By the mid-18th century, he had effectively taken control of the Mysore kingdom, initially serving as the de facto ruler before formally assuming the title of Sultan.

Hyder Ali is best known for his military campaigns against the British East India Company, which marked the beginning of the Anglo-Mysore Wars. His strategic prowess and innovative use of military technology, including the deployment of rockets, earned him a formidable reputation. Under his leadership, Mysore expanded its territories and became a significant power in southern India. His administration was noted for its efforts to modernize the army and improve the economic conditions of the state, including the development of agriculture and trade.

Hyder Ali's legacy is also closely tied to his son, Tipu Sultan, who continued his father's resistance against British colonial expansion. Together, they are remembered for their efforts to preserve the sovereignty of Mysore against the encroaching forces of the British Empire. Hyder Ali's death in 1782 marked the end of an era, but his impact on the history and politics of southern India remains significant. His life and achievements have been the subject of various historical studies, highlighting his role as a key figure in the resistance against colonialism in India.
