Shuja Beg Arghun (; – 26 June 1524) was the Second Shah of Kandahar and the First Arghun Shah of Sindh as he overcame and defeated Jam Feroz, the last Sultan of the Samma dynasty, in 1520. His reign was short-lived as he died in 1524. His only surviving son, Husayn Beg Arghun succeeded him as the second Arghun ruler.
Arghun was the son of Zunnun Beg Arghun. He was the commander-in-chief and head of the nobles at the court of Sultan Husayn Bayqara, the Amīr of Khurasan and Kandahar in 1488. Arghun was unable to resist Babur's invasion of Kabul and Kandahar and retreated towards Shal and Sibi. He stayed in Sibi and remodelled the Sibi Fort before finally settling in Sindh.
