Shaykh Sulaymān Banārsī (Bengali: শেখ সুলেমান বানারসী, Persian: شيخ سليمان بنارسي) was a Mughal Empire official during the reign of emperor Jahangir.
He was a Shaykh and was said to have spent a lot of his earlier life in the landlocked city of Banaras in North India.
The Subahdar replaced Mukarram with Mirak Bahadur Jalair, as Sylhet's chief sardar and Shaykh Sulayman Banarsi to govern Uhar and Taraf.
Nathan, who was busy preparing for an expedition to Hajo, accepted the Subahdar's orders and marched to Jahangirnagar.
However, by the time Nathan had reached the capital, the Subahdar had already given the sardarship of Sylhet to Mirza Ahmad Baig, with Sulayman's son as a deputy sardar (not mentioned whether this was Tufan or not).
