Asharam Dalichand Shah (8 February 1842 ― 26 March 1921) was a prominent administrator, educator, and litterateur in the Kathiawar Agency of British India during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Belonging to a transitional generation that bridged traditional Indian governance with British administrative systems, Shah served as a high-ranking official in several princely states, including Morvi, Jamnagar, Lathi, and Maliya. He is historically noted for his role in suppressing outlawry (bahirvatu) in the region and for pioneering research in Gujarati language, culminating in his compilation of the Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah, a monumental collection of Gujarati proverbs.
