Saif ad-Din Qutuz, also spelled Kutuz or Koetoez (November 2 (year?

)- October 24, 1260) is the third of the Mamluk Sultans of Egypt in the Turkic line from 1259 until his death in 1260.

It is under his leadership that the Mamluks achieve success against the Mongols in the key Battle of Ain Jalut.

Qutuz is assassinated by a fellow Mamluk leader, Baibars, on the triumphant return journey to Cairo.

Although Qutuz's reign is short, he is one of the most popular Mamluk sultans in the Islamic world and holds one of the highest positions in Islamic history.
