Surendra Bikram Shah (Nepali: श्री ५ महाराजाधिराज सुरेन्द्र विक्रम शाह देव), (20 October 1829 – 17 May 1881), was King of Nepal. He became the king after Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana forced the abdication of his father, Rajendra Bikram Shah. Surendra was effectively reduced to a figurehead, with Rana being the de facto ruler of the country.
