Qutb-ud-din Mubarak Shah (died 1320) was the third and last ruler of the Khilji dynasty in India. An ethnic Afghan of the Ghilzai tribe, Qutb-ud-din was the son and successor of Ala ud din Khilji.

Qutb-ud-din, at the age of 18, was originally appointed regent to his younger six-year old brother, the king. Within two months, Qutb-ud-din blinded his brother and ascended the throne. He began his rule by releasing thousands of prisoners and abolishing all taxes and penalties imposed by his father.

He was murdered in 1320, this effectively ended the Khilji dynasty.
