'''Ibrahim Shah Suri''' was the fifth ruler of the [[Sur dynasty]], a [[Pashtun people|Pashtun (Afghan)]] dynasty of late medieval northern [[India]].<br />
<br />
==Reign==<br />
Ibrahim Khan Suri was the son of Ghazi Khan and the brother-in-law of sultan [[Muhammad Adil Shah (died 1557)|Muhammad Adil Shah]]. He was the governor of [[Agra]] in 1555, when he revolted against the sultan. Adil Shah despatched his army to crush the revolt, but he defeated Adil's army and marched towards Delhi. After capturing Delhi, he assumed the regal title and became Ibrahim Shah Suri. But in the same year, [[Sikandar Shah Suri]] defeated him at Farah, 32&nbsp;km from [[Agra]] in spite of the numerical superiority of Ibrahim's army. Sikandar took possession of both Delhi and Agra.<ref name=r1>Majumdar, R.C. (ed.) (2007).

==Later days==<br />
After losing [[Delhi]] and Agra, Ibrahim began his strife with Adil Shah. But he was defeated by Adil's army led by his wazir [[Hemu]] twice, first near Kalpi and next near Khanua. He took refuge in the fort of Bayana, but it was besieged by Hemu's army. He got some respite when Hemu was recalled by Adil. Later, Ibrahim took refuge in [[Orissa, India|Orissa]], where he died in 1567-68.<ref name=r1/> <br />
