Sikandar Khan Lodi (zm. 21 listopada 1517 r.), urodzony jako Nizam Khan, był pasztuńskim sułtanem sułtanatu Delhi w latach 1489-1517. Został władcą dynastii Lodi po śmierci swojego ojca Bahlul Khan Lodi w lipcu 1489 roku. Drugi i najbardziej utytułowany władca dynastii Lodi sułtanatu Delhi, był także poetą języka perskiego i przygotował diwan składający się z 9000 wersetów.

Sikandar Shah Lodi, drugi władca z dynastii Lodi, był zdolnym władcą, który zachęcał do handlu w swoim regionie. Rozszerzył terytorium Lodi na regiony Gwalior i Bihar. W 1503 roku zlecił budowę dzisiejszego miasta Agra. Agra została założona przez niego. Rządził sułtanatem do 1517 roku.

Sikander Shah emitował monety w złocie, srebrze i bilonie. Emitowane przez niego monety billonowe zawierały tylko 5% srebra. Na początku jego panowania waga monet bilonowych była standardowa, ale w późniejszym roku jego panowania waga monet stała się nieregularna. Automatically translated

The dates for this type are AH 900-922. The angular style of this type can cause ٩ to easily be mistaken for ٨ when partially off-flan, which is common.

Sikandar Khan Lodi (died 21 November 1517), born Nizam Khan, was a Pashtun Sultan of the Delhi Sultanate between 1489 and 1517. He became ruler of the Lodi dynasty after the death of his father Bahlul Khan Lodi in July 1489. The second, and the most successful ruler of the Lodi dynasty of the Delhi sultanate, he was also a poet of the Persian language and prepared a diwan of 9000 verses.

In 1503, he commissioned the building of the present-day city of Agra. Agra was founded by him. He ruled the Sultanate till 1517 AD.
