'''Sultan Abu Bakr Shah''' (reigned 1389–1390), was a [[Muslim]] Turkic ruler of the [[Tughlaq dynasty]]. He was the son of Zafar Khan and the grandson of [[Sultan Feroze Shah Tughluq]].<br />
<br />
After [[Ghiyas-ud-Din Tughluq II]] (who had succeeded Sultan Feroze Shah Tughluq) was murdered, Abu Bakr became ruler of the Tughlaq empire. However, his uncle, [[Sultan Muhammad Shah Tughluq|Muhammad Shah]], also desired to be ruler, and struggled against Abu Bakr over the control of the throne. Abu Bakr was defeated in August 1390, and Muhammad Shah succeeded him as king, reigning from 1390 to 1394. After his defeat, Abu Bakr was imprisoned in the fort of [[Meerut]] and died soon after.<ref name=mehta>{{cite book|title=Advanced study in the history of medieval India|volume=1|author=Jaswant Lal Mehta|publisher=Sterling Publishers|year=1980|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iUk5k5AN54sC|accessdate=8 February 2012|ISBN=978-81-207-0617-0|page=240}}</ref><br />
