Mewa Shah (Urdu: میوە شاه ) was a 19th-century Sufi saint who was buried in Mewa Shah GraveyardinSITE Town, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

In the 19th century Sufi Mewa Shah struggled against the British colonial rule in Karachi, British India.[1] He was jailed and eventually exiled by the British. According to legend, Mewa Shah boarded the ship taking him into exile, said his prayers on the waves of the Arabian Sea and mounted a large fish, which took him back to the shores of Karachi.[1][2]
