Mahmud Ri’ayat Shah Zilu’llah fil’Alam Khalifat ul-Muminin ibni al-Marhum Sultan ‘Abdu’l Jalil Shah (Malay: محمود رعایت شاه ظلالله فلعالم خلیفت المؤمن ابن المرحوم سلطان عبدالجلیل شاه, 24 March 1756 – 1811) was the 17th Sultan of Johor and Johor's dependencies who reigned from 1770 to 1811. Exercising little power over the sultanate where actual power was held under the Bugis court faction, the Tuhfat al-Nafis nevertheless mentions him as an able statesman who did what he could in insurmountable odds, while Munshi Abdullah attests to his good character.[1]
