An-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qaitbay (Arabic: الناصر ناصر الدين محمد بن قايتباي; 1482 – 31 October 1498) was the son of Qaitbay, and a Mamluk sultan of Egypt from 7 August 1496 to 31 October 1498.

His first wife was Gevhermelik Hatun,[2] daughter of Cem Sultan and granddaughter of Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II the Conqueror.[3][4]

He married Miṣirbāy (d. 1522), former Circassian slave concubine and then widow of Kurtbāy, Governor of Gaza; she later married his successor sultan Abu Sa'id Qansuh (r. 1498-1500), and finally in 1517 to Khā’ir Bek, the first Ottoman Governor of Egypt.[5]
