Rafi ud Daulat (رفي الدولت) also known as Shah Jahan II (شاهجهان ۲) (b. 1696) was Mughal emperor for a brief period in 1719. He succeeded his short-lived brother Rafi Ul-Darjat in that year, being proclaimed Badshah by the Saiyid Brothers. Like his brother, he also died in 1719 at Delhi, being deposed and killed at the behest of the Saiyid Brothers.

After his death he was succeeded by the unfortunate Nikusiyar who was a nominal sovereign (and whose reign is sometimes discounted).
