Ustad Enayat Khan (; (1894–1938) also known as Nath Singh was one of India's most influential sitar and surbahar players in the first decades of the 20th century. He was the father of Vilayat Khan, one of the top sitariyas (sitar players) of the postwar period.

Early life Enayat Khan was born in 1894 in the North-Western Provinces, British India into a family of musicians. His father was the great sitar maestro Imdad Khan, who taught him the sitar and surbahar (bass sitar) in the family style, known as the Imdadkhani Gharana or Etawah Gharana (music school origin), named after a small village near Agra called Etawah. He married Bashiran Begum, daughter of khyal singer Bande Hussain.
