Askari Mian Irani (1940–2004) was a Pakistani painter.
In 1967, Askari Mian Irani received a diploma in Commercial Design from the Mayo School of Arts now called National College of Arts (NCA), Lahore.
He worked in the advertising industry until 1976, but later became disillusioned with the nature of his job. So he decided to return to his first passion - painting. Askari Mian Irani was part of the faculty of the NCA from 1976 to 1999.
He exhibited in over 20 solo and group shows.
Irani designed two stamps (40 paisas and 85 paisas) of the Third Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) (1981) issue.
On 14 August 2006, Pakistan Post issued a Rs. 40 sheetlet of stamps to posthumously honour 10 Pakistani painters. Besides Askari Mian Irani, the other nine painters were: Laila Shahzada, Zubeida Agha, Sadequain, Ali Imam, Shakir Ali, Anna Molka Ahmed, Zahoor ul Akhlaq, Ahmed Pervez and Bashir Mirza.
