Nuruddin Sikandar Shah (Bengali: নূরউদ্দীন সিকান্দর শাহ, Persian: نور الدین سکندر شاه) was the Sultan of Bengal in 1481 CE for a brief number of days.
[1] Sikandar was born in the 15th-century into a ruling class Bengali Muslim Sunni family known as the Ilyas Shahi dynasty, in the Bengal Sultanate.
Following the death of his nephew,[3] Shamsuddin Yusuf Shah, Sikander rose to the throne though he did not retain this position for long.
Historians Abdul Karim, Nizamuddin Ahmad and Ghulam Husain Salim indicate that Sikandar held the title for only a day or two, being removed almost immediately after his ascension because of his "lack of mental equilibrium".
[4] Recently, coins of Sikandar Shah minted from Dār ad-Darb (Treasury) were discovered in Mathanguri, Baksa, Assam.
