Sultan Saidi (Jawi: سلطان سعيدي; d. 7 January 1657) was the tenth Sultan of Tidore in Maluku islands. He was also known as Magiau (مݢيأو‎), and ruled from 1640 to 1657. His reign saw intermittent hostilities with Tidore's traditional rival, the Sultanate of Ternate, which included interference in an anti-Dutch rebellion in Ternate and Ambon and attempts to increase Tidorese territory in Maluku. By the time of Saidi's reign Tidore had gained a political position in parts of the Papuan territories.
