Jam Fateh Khan was the eleventh Sultan of Sindh from the House of Juna of the Samma dynasty. He ruled from 1413 to 1428.

Reign

Jam Fateh Khan ascended the throne in 1413 following the death of his father, Jam Sikandar I. He was nominated by the tribes of Sindh. According to Tarikh-i Masumi, during his reign, he strengthened the administration of justice and devoted close attention to the affairs of the state throughout his reign.

He married his daughter, Bibi Jam Zādi, to Qutb-ul-Alam, the grandson of Makhdum Jahaniya, establishing a marital alliance between the Sammas and the Muzaffarids of Gujarat. Three days before his death in 1428, he summoned his younger brother, Jam Tughlaq, to his bedside and personally placed the crown upon his head, thereby designating him as his successor.
