Dera Murad Jamali (Urdu: ڈیرہ مراد جمالی), often abbreviated as D.M. Jamali, is a city (and district headquarters) located in Nasirabad District, Balochistan, Pakistan. It is also the divisional headquarters of Nasirabad Division.

Its original name was Temple Dera, named after Captain H. M. Temple, a career British civil servant, who served as the Political Agent for Sibi from 1891 to 1892. Among the local population it is still known as 'Tipul', a corruption of the word 'temple'.[3]
