Nasir-ud-Din Muhammad Kuchuk Jahan Shah IV Padshah Ghazi also called Bidar Bakht Mahmud Shah Bahadur, was Mughal Emperor of India for a brief period in 1788 as a puppet of Ghulam Qadir. He was the son of the former Mughal Emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur. He was deposed in the same year by the Marathas and killed in 1790 on the orders of Emperor Shah Alam II, though it was he who had helped Shah Alam II during his brief reign by sending him water and food secretly when Ghulam Qadir had ordered that no food or water be supplied to the deposed Emperor. He had been made Subahdar of Punjab on 12 November 1752 as a child.
