'''Daud Shah Bahmani''' (reigned 1378), also spelled as '''Dawud''',{{sfn|Sherwani|1985|p=123}} or '''Dawood''',{{sfn|Firishtah|1829|p=342}} was the fourth ruler of the [[Bahmani Sultanate]], a late medieval kingdom of [[India]]. He succeeded his nephew [[Mujahid Shah]] after [[assassination|assassinating]] him. Daud Shah's brief reign was marked with turbulence and instability over his [[regicide]] of his nephew, which culminated in the creation of numerous court factions.

Daud Shah showed bravery in Mujahid Shah's campaigns against the Vijayanagara Empire, but was later reprimanded by Mujahid for his bold actions that could've resulted in a disaster if the Muslim army had lost. Following this, Daud Shah had Mujahid assassinated, and ascended the throne in 1378.

Instability gripped his short reign, and eventually through [[Conspiracy|intrigue]], Daud Shah was assassinated by a court faction led by Mujahid Shah's sister, who instead placed [[Ala-ud-Din Bahman Shah|Alauddin Bahman Shah]]'s younger son, Mohammad II on the throne.
