'''Hoshang Shah''' (Alp Khan) (1406–1435) was the first formally appointed [[Sultan of the Malwa Sultanate]] of Central India.<ref name="Beale1881">{{cite book | author=Thomas William Beale | title=The oriental biographical dictionary | url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_63YIAAAAQAAJ | access-date=6 December 2012 | year=1881 | publisher=Asiatic Society | page=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_63YIAAAAQAAJ/page/n114 108]}}</ref><ref name="sen2">{{Cite book |last=Sen |first=Sailendra |title=A Textbook of Medieval Indian History |publisher=Primus Books |year=2013 |isbn=978-9-38060-734-4 |pages=116}}</ref> Also called Hushang Shah Gori, he was known as Alp Khan before he took on the title Hoshang Shah after being crowned the ruler of Malwa. Alp Khan's father [[Dilawar Khan]] Ghori had belonged to the court of [[Firozshah Tughlaq]], the [[Sultan of Delhi]]. Dilawar Khan Gori was appointed governor of [[Malwa]] probably by [[Firuz Shah Tughlaq|Firuz]] of the house of [[Tughlaq]], but made himself independent of the [[Delhi Sultanate]] for all practical purposes in 1401.<ref>An Advanced History of India:R C Majumdar, 2006, p. 304</ref> Thus he had practically come to [[Mandu, Madhya Pradesh|Mandu]] in 1401 as the first King of [[Malwa]], although he did not declare himself a king. <br />
