The Mian family of Baghbanpura was a notable family of Lahore, Pakistan. Belonging to the Arian tribe of the Punjab region, they were originally agriculturalists and market cultivators, who owned the land near Baghbanpura on which the Shalimar Gardens was built. The land was handed to the Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan and in return custodianship of the Shalimar Gardens was granted to the family in 1641. The Mian family ceased to be the custodian of the site in 1962, after the imposition of martial law in Pakistan by General Muhammad Ayub Khan
