Alauddin (died c. 1564, probably Aceh, Sumatra [now in Indonesia]) was the sultan of the Malay kingdom of Johor (Johore) from 1528. He is sometimes considered the cofounder of the kingdom with his father, Mahmud Shah, the last sultan of Melaka (Malacca), who established Johor on the island of Bintan (southeast of Singapore) in 1512–13. Sometime after his father’s death (1528), Sultan Alauddin moved his capital to Johor Lama (“Old Johore”). The Acehnese sacked Johor Lama in 1564 and took Alauddin prisoner.
