Khvajeh Ali Safavi ({{langx|fa|خواجه علی سیاهپوش}}; died 1427) was a son of Sadr al-Dīn Mūsā and grandson of Safi-ad-din Ardabili.{{sfn|Newman|2008|page=68}}{{sfn|Matthee|2008}} He assumed leadership of the Safavid order after his father's death. According to Rudi Matthee / Encyclopedia Iranica, under Khvajeh Ali, the convictions of the Safavid order apparently shifted towards Shia Islam "under the influence of their main supporters—Turkmen tribes who adhered to a popular brand of Shiʿism".{{sfn|Matthee|2008}} Originally (i.e. prior to Khvajeh Ali), the order seemingly bore "Sunni convictions".{{sfn|Matthee|2008}}
