'Abdullah Mirza (after 1410 – June 1451) was a short-lived ruler of theTimurid Empire, which encompassed the territory shared by present-dayIran,Afghanistan,Pakistan, along with substantial areas of India,Mesopotamia andCaucasus.

As a member of theTimurid dynasty, Abdullah Mirza was a great-grandson ofTimur, a grandson ofShah Rukh and a son ofIbrahim Sultan. Granted the governorship ofFars by his grandfather, Abdullah Mirza found his position threatened by his cousinSultan Muhammad during the 1447 succession crisis which followed Shah Rukh's death, and was forced to abandon the province. As a supporter ofUlugh Beg, he was imprisoned by'Abd al-Latif following the latter's rise to power. When 'Abd al-Latif was murdered, he was released and made ruler ofSamarkand, for which he was forced to lavish money upon the troops that supported him. Despite this, he did not enjoy widespread popularity.

During his relatively brief reign, a revolt created by Sultan Muhammad's brotherAla al-Dawla Mirza did not seriously threaten him, but a rising initiated byAbu Sa'id Mirza, whose home base, at the time, was inBukhara, proved to be fatal. Marching fromTashkent to Samarkand with the support ofAbu'l-Khayr Khan, Abu Sa'id Mirza defeated Abdullah Mirza and executed him in 1451, taking his place on the throne.
