Shams al-Muluk Muhammad of Tabaristan (شمس الملوک محمد) was the ruler of the Bavand dynasty from 1249 to 1271.
Muhammad had close relations with his ally the Paduspanid Shahragim, and even married his daughter.
During the reign of the Ilkhanid Abaqa Khan, Muhammad and Shahrigam were ordered to aid the Ilkhanids in the prolonged siege of the Gerdkuh fortress, which was held by the Ismailites.
Muhammad then joined the armies of the Ilkhanid, but was shortly arrested because of his recklessness.
