Shayakh Syed Mir Mirak Andrabi (921-990 AH; c. 1515–1582 AD) was a fifth-generation Sufi scholar in Kashmir. The son of Allama Syed Shams-ud-din Andrabi (860-932 AH, c. 1455–1525), his great-grandfather Syed Ahmad Andrabi was originally from Andarab (a valley in southern Baghlan Province in northeastern Afghanistan. He migrated with his clan (some of living near Bukhara, a region in present-day Uzbekistan) to Kashmir to spread Islam. His descendants are known as Kashmiri, Andrabi or Bukhari Syed, reflecting their geographical links.
