Shah Suwar was a ruler of the Dulkadirids, a Turkmen beylik on the frontier between Mamluk Syria and Ottoman Anatolia. With Ottoman encouragement he rebelled against the Mamluks in the late 1460s and defeated several Mamluk armies. He was finally captured and executed in Cairo in 1472, and his brother was installed in his place.
