Div Sultan Rumlu (Persian: دیو سلطان روملو‎‎) was a Turkoman military commander and politician from the Rumlu clan, one of the seven chief Qizilbash tribes which provided crack troops for Safavid guard. In 1516-1527, he served as the governor (hakem) of the Yerevan Province (also known as Chokhur-e Sa'd). From 1524 to 1527, he was a powerful regent to Shah Tahmasp I, who was then underage. Div Sultan Rumlu had summer quarters at Lar Valley in the Alborz Mountains. He was killed in a power struggle in 1527.
