Sultan of the Malwa Sultanate was the principal title of the ruler of the Malwa Sultanate (1401–1561/2) in the Indian subcontinent. The Sultanate was founded by Dilawar Khan, an Afghan or Turko-Afghan governor of the Delhi Sultanate. In 1437, the Ghurid dynasty of Dilawar Khan was replaced by the Turko-Afghan Khalji dynasty, which was related to the Khalji dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate.
