Sultan Abdul Jalil was a sultan of Perak. Perak was part of the Federated Malay States during his reign and became a state of the independent Malaya in 1957, and subsequently Malaysia in 1963. He ascended the Perak throne after the death of his father - Sultan Idris Shah I. His reigning title was Sultan Abdul Jalil Nasiruddin Al-Mukhataram Karamatullah Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Idris Murshidul Azam Shah. He died in Nov 1918 and was given the post-humous title of Marhum Radziallah. He was succeeded by his younger brother - Sultan Iskandar Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Idris Rahmatullah Shah.

The Sultan Abdul Jalil Bridge which crosses the Perak River at Kuala Kangsar is named in his honor.
