Shah Budak (Turkish: Şah Budak) was the beg of the Dulkadirids from 1465 to 1466 and 1472 to 1480.

Attempt to overthrow Ala al-Dawla

After his brother Ala al-Dawla Bozkurt rose to power, Shah Budak took refuge in the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II's court. In 1489, he tried to ascend back to the Dulkadirid throne for a third time with the support of Ottoman troops. However, he was captured and sent to exile in Cairo.[2]
