Sultan Sir Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah Ibni Al-Marhum Raja Musa GCMG KCVO (Jawi: سلطان سر علاء الدين سليمان شاه ابن المرحوم راج موسى; 11 September 1863 – 31 March 1938) was the fifth Sultan of Selangor from 1898 until 1938. He was previously known as Raja Sulaiman before being crowned Sultan.

Sultan Sulaiman was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG) in 1912[1] and later the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George (GCMG) in 1929[2] by the United Kingdom with the title Sir.

The Sultan's rule was marked by Selangor joining the Federated Malay States, a federation of four protectorates in the Malay Peninsula, including Perak, Negeri Sembilan and Pahang, established by the British government in 1895, which lasted until 1946.

It was during Sultan Sulaiman's reign that Istana Alam Shah was built in 1905. The Sultan went on to live in the palace for 35 years until his death in 1938.
