Sulaiman al-Qanuni ibni Sharif Ali (Jawi: سليمان القانوني ابن شريف علي‎; died 1513), also known as Senior King (Raja Tua)[3] and Adipati Agung (Sang Aji),[4] was the fifth Sultan of Brunei, according to Silsilah Raja-Raja Berunai. He succeeded his father in 1432 and ruled until his abdication in 1485, to allow his son Bolkiah to become Sultan.

Under his reign, Malacca and the eastern region of Southeast Asia saw Brunei grow into a powerful imperial force.[5] In addition, he was the first sultan to be in charge of building a mosque in addition to being the architect of Kota Batu.[6] According to oral tradition, the sultan was said to live more than 100 years old.[7] In the Boxer Codex, he was known as Sultan Soliman by the Spaniards.[8]
