Sultan Ahmed Mirza (Persian: {{Nq|سلطان احمد مرزا) was the eldest son of Abu Sa'id Mirza[1] on whose death he became the Timurid ruler of Samarkand and Bukhara from 1469 until 1494.

He was embroiled in the Timurid Civil Wars with his brothers Umar Shaikh Mirza II and Sultan Mahmud Mirza. He died while returning from his Ferghana expedition against Babur, the twelve-year-old son and successor of Umar Shaikh Mirza II. As he had no male heir, he was succeeded by his brother, Sultan Mahmud Mirza.
