Surendra Bikram Shah (Nepali: श्री ५ महाराजाधिराज सुरेन्द्र विक्रम शाह देव), (20 October 1829 – 17 May 1881), was the sixth King of Nepal. He became the king after Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana forced the abdication of his father, Rajendra Bikram Shah. Surendra was effectively reduced to a figurehead, with Rana being the de facto ruler of the country.
