Solamish | regent-type =

Badr al-Din Solamish (1272–1291; , , royal name: al-Malik al-Adil Badr al-Din Solamish ()) was a Turkic Sultan of Egypt in 1279. Born in Cairo, he was the son of Baybars, a military leader and sultan of Egypt.

Biography

Upon Baibars' death, his son al-Said Barakah took power, but as he was replacing his father's amirs with his own, three of the more powerful ones banded together and forced Barakah to abdicate after only two years. Barakah was replaced by the seven-year-old Solamish, with Qalawun, one of the amirs who had forced Barakah to abdicate, as guardian. A few months later, Solamish was deposed by Qalawun, who took the title of sultan for himself. He was later sent along with his brother Al-Masoud Khadir to join Barakah in Al-Karak in late 1279. However, Solamish and Al-Masoud Khadir were allowed to return to Cairo, to be later deported again with their mother to Constantinople, during the reign of Sultan Al-Ashraf Khalil.

He died in Constantinople in 1291. In 1297, his corpse was taken to be buried in Cairo, as his sister demanded from her husband, Sultan Lajin.
