Mughith al-Dunya wa'l-Din Abu'l-Fath Dawud bin Mahmud[3] (Arabic: مغیث الدنيا والدين أبو الفتح داود بن محمود); died 1142/43) was a Seljuk Sultan who ruled Baghdad and for a short period of Iranian Azerbaijan (1131–1132) in confrontation with his uncles Masud and Tughrul II.
After his father's death in 1131, Dawud was installed as the new sultan. However, his uncles Masud and Tughrul II opposed this, and at the same time they conspired against Ahmad Sanjar, and in light of the rejection of Dawud's authority, the Caliph Al-Mustarshid accepted his authority. But eventually in 1132, Dawud was overthrown and replaced by his uncle Tughrul II.
