Sultan Ahmad Shah I ibni Almarhum Sultan Mansur Shah (died 1519)[1] was the second Sultan of Pahang from 1475 to 1495.[2] He succeeded his younger brother, Muhammad Shah as sultan after the latter's death by poisoning in 1475.[3] During his reign, relations between Pahang and its Malaccan overlord, deteriorated greatly, as a result of Sultan Ahmad's resentment towards his half-brother Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah of Malacca. Under Sultan Ahmad's rule, Pahang became increasingly unstable with Sultan Ahmad abdicating around 1495, in favour of his son, Raja Mansur.[2]
