Syed Sultan (c. 1550 – 1648) was a medieval Bengali Muslim writer and poet. He is best known for his magnum opus, the Nabibangsha (1584), which was one of the first translations of the Qisas Al-Anbiya into Bengali language. His literary works have been included in the curriculum of school level, secondary, and higher secondary Bengali literature in Bangladesh. There are claims that he is the same person as a certain Syed Sultan from Taraf in Greater Sylhet, although this is highly unlikely due to the time periods.
Sultan lived in Habigonj Village Sultanshi Shaheb Bari in Habigonj and also in Sultanshi, Habigonj for a while.
