Abdul Rehman Antulay (born February 9, 1929) is a member of the 14th Lok Sabha, Union Minister of Minority Affairs of India and a former chief minister of the state of Maharashtra, India. He is the Congress M.P representing the Kolaba constituency of the state of Maharashtra,India. He is credited with taking a proactive role in establishment of Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers, an Indian public sector company at Alibag, the main town in his constituency.

He resigned as Chief minister of Maharashtra after the Bombay High Court convicted him of extortion on January 13, 1982. The court ruled that Mr. Antulay had illegally required Bombay area builders to make donations to Indira Gandhi Pristhan trust- one of several trust funds he had established and controlled, in exchange for receiving more cement than the quota allotted to them by the Government.[1]

After the 2006 Mumbai train bombings news reports suggested that, during a Indian Cabinet meeting Mr. Antulay had talked about a "mysterious" blast in Nanded in Maharashtra this April believed by Antulay (And fellow Congress politician Arjun Singh ) to have been organised by Hindus posing as Muslims. This statement, interpreted by the opposition as an implication that Hindu groups faked terrorist attacks and blamed them routinely on Muslims drew strong condemnation.[2]
