Qutb-ud-din Mubarak Shah (reigned 1316–1320) was a ruler of the Delhi Sultanate of present-day India. A member of the Khalji dynasty, he was a son of Alauddin Khalji. After Alauddin's death, Mubarak Shah was imprisoned by Malik Kafur, who appointed his younger brother Shihabuddin Omar as a puppet monarch. After Malik Kafur's murder, Mubarak Shah became the regent. Soon after, he blinded his brother Omar, and usurped the power. After a short reign, he was murdered because of a conspiracy by his slave general Khusrau Khan, who succeeded him on the throne.
