Surendra Bikram Shah (1829–1881) was King of Nepal between 1847 and 1881. He became king after Prime Minister Jang Bahadur Rana forced the abdication of Surendra's father, Rajendra Bikram Shah. Surendra wielded little real power, with Jang Bahadur Rana effectively ruling the country during Surendra's reign.

Surendra's son Trilokya Bir Bikram Shah married two of Jang Bahadur Rana's daughters. Trilokya died in 1878, and Trilokya's son Prithvi Bir Bikram Shah became heir to the throne.
