Sheikh Mohammed Sultan (10 August 1923 - 10 October 1994; better known as SM Sultan, was a Bangladesh avant-garde artist who worked in painting and drawing. His fame rests on his striking depictions of exaggeratedly muscular Bangladeshi peasants engaged in the activities of their everyday lives.[1] He is the son of Sheikh Mohammed Mecher Ali and Mochammed Meherunnesa.

For his achievement in fine arts he was awarded with the Ekushey Padak in 1982; the Bangladesh Charu Shilpi Sangsad Award in 1986; and the Independence Day Award in 1993.[2] His works are held in several major collections in Bangladesh, including the Bangladesh National Museum, theNational Art Gallery (Bangladesh), the SM Sultan Memorial Museum, and the Bengal Foundation.
