Agha, also Aga ( Ottoman Turkish: أغا, Persian: آقا ağa "chief, master, lord"), as an honorific title for a civilian or military officer, or often part of such title, was placed after the name of certain military functionaries in the Ottoman Empire. At the same time some court functionaries were entitled to the agha title.
Agha (21 March 1914 – 30 April 1992) was an Indian film actor of Bollywood films of Persian descent. He was known for comic roles and modeled himself on Bob Hope's style of acting. He appeared in over 300 Hindi films in his career between 1935 and 1986. His son, Jalal Agha, also became an actor, most known for the song, Mehbooba Mehbooba in Sholay (1975).
Agha may refer to:
- Agha (Ottoman Empire), a civilian and military title in the Ottoman Empire and Safavid Empire especially among the Qizilbash
- Agha (actor), Indian film actor and producer of Bollywood films who started his film career with the film Daulat in 1937
- Agha, Iran (disambiguation), places in Iran
