Teungku Mohammad Daud Beureueh (17 September 1899 – 10 June 1987) was an Indonesian military Governor of Aceh (1945–1953) and leader of the Darul Islam rebellion in the province (1953–1963).
Born in the Keumangan chiefdom of Pidie regency, he began in 1930 to champion a more modern form of Islamic school and became a popular reformist preacher.
After the Japanese surrender, this conflict between religious and secular elites became violent, leading to the eclipse of the ulèëbalang and the killing of many in the Cumbok affair of December 1945/January 1946.
Daud was sidelined in favour of Western-educated leaders in 1951 when Aceh was merged into a larger Province of North Sumatra with a substantial Christian (Batak) minority.
Jakarta quickly retook the cities, but resistance was widespread until 1959 when many supporters demanded Aceh be a "Special Region" with the right to enact Islamic laws.
