Ali-qoli Khan (Persian: علیقلیخان), commonly known by his regnal title Adel Shah (also spelled Adil; عادلشاه, "the Just King") was the second shah of Afsharid Iran, ruling from 1747 to 1748. He was the nephew and successor of Nader Shah (r. 1736–1747), the founder of the Afsharid dynasty.
Adel Shah ruled a considerably smaller realm than that of his predecessor. His rule was only secured in eastern Iran, and he later attempted to secure it in western Iran as well. Unsuccessful, he was soon deposed by his brother Ebrahim Afshar, who had established his rule in western Iran and now declared himself shah.
