Qutb-ud-din Mubarak Shah (b. ? - d. 1320) was the third and last ruler of the Khilji dynasty in India. An ethnic Pashtun of the Ghilzai tribe, Qutb-ud-din was the son and successor of Ala ud din Khilji. Qutb-ud-din, at the age of 18, was originally appointed regent to his younger six-year old brother, the king. Within two months, Qutb-ud-din blinded his brother and ascended the throne. He began his rule by releasing thousands of prisoners and abolishing all taxes and penalties imposed by his father. In 1320, his male favorite Khusru Khan murdered him and proclaimed himself king. This effectively ended the Khilji dynasty.
