Jamsheed Quli Qutb Shah (also transliterated in different ways) (Urdu: جمشید قلی قطب شاہ ) was the second ruler of the Sultanate of Golkonda under the Qutb Shahi dynasty. He ruled from 1543 to 1550.
His father, Sultan Quli Qutb-ul-Mulk, had established the dynasty and had become the first Muslim to rule over entire Telugu region. Jamsheed Quli Qutb Shah killed his father and blinded his brother, the heir to the throne. Jamsheed's brother, Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah, ran away to Vijayanagar.
Little is known of Jamsheed's reign, but he is remembered as having been cruel. He died in 1550.
