'''Murtaza Nizam Shah I''' ({{langx|fa|{{Nastaliq|مرتضی نظام شاه}}}}; died 13 June 1588) was the [[Ahmadnagar Sultanate|Sultan of Ahmadnagar]] from 1565 until his execution in 1588. The eldest son of [[Hussain Nizam Shah I]], Murtaza succeeded him in 1565 after his death.<br />
<br />
== Reign ==<br />
During the first six years of his rule, his mother [[Khunza Humayun]] controlled the affairs of kingdom. Her repeated military failures against her neighbours, including when the kingdom was invaded by [[Ali Adil Shah I|Ali Adil Shah]] in 1569, led the Nizam Shahi nobility to eventually help Murtaza take the reins of administration in his own hands. He retrieved the situation and recovered [[Udgir]] from [[Bijapur]]. In 1574 he annexed [[Berar Sultanate|Berar]] to [[Ahmednagar]]; in 1588 he was killed and succeeded by his son Hussain Nizam Shah II.<ref>[http://blogs.rediff.com/araj/2009/05/08/nizamshahi-dynasty-of-ahmednagar-a-chronology/ Chronology] rediff.com 8 May 2009 {{dead link|date=February 2024}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://ahmednagar.gov.in/html_docs/history_of_ahmedngar_district.htm |title=The History of Ahmednagar |access-date=2016-05-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140527074249/http://ahmednagar.gov.in/html_docs/history_of_ahmedngar_district.htm |archive-date=2014-05-27 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Hussain Nizam Shah II was also murdered after some time.<br />
