The Soomra dynasty (Sindhi: سومرن جو سلسله) was a Muslim Rajput power on the Indian Subcontinent, that ruled in the Sindh region of present-day Pakistan from 1024 to 1351. The Soomras were of Rajput origin.[1]

The Sumra tribe revolted against Masud, ruler of the Ghaznavids. They were superseded by the Samma dynasty.[2]
