Mansur ad-Din (died 1424) was a sultan of Adal and a son of Sa'ad ad-Din II.[1]

On the death of his brother Sabr ad-Din II, Mansur resumed the war against the Ethiopian Empire. He won victories against Emperor Yeshaq I at Jadayah and Mukha, but in the end Emperor Yeshaq defeated him and captured both Mansur and his brother Muhammed, and kept them imprisoned until they died.[2]
