Shah Brunei ibni Saiful Rijal[1] (died c. 1582) was the Sultan of Brunei from 1581 to 1582.

Pengiran Muda Besar Shah Berunai ascended the throne in 1581 on the death of his father Sultan Saiful Rijal.[2] The Flemish trader of precious stones named Jacques de Coutre described him as "more a pirate than a king" and most of his followers as "Borneo Bajaus."[3] He died in 1582 without any male descendants and was succeeded by his younger brother Pengiran Muda Tengah Muhammad Hassan.[4] He was noted to be buried in Kianggeh.[5]
