Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq Shah (Persian: غیاث الدین تغلق شاہ), also known as Ghazi Malik (غازی ملک; died 1 February 1325), was the Sultan of Delhi from 1320 to 1325. He was the first sultan of the Tughluq dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate. During his reign, Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq founded the city of Tughluqabad. His reign ended upon his death in 1325 when a pavilion built in his honour collapsed. The 14th-century historian Ibn Battuta claimed that the death of the sultan was the result of a conspiracy against him.

Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq was succeeded by his eldest son, Muhammad bin Tughluq.
