Suleiman ibn Abd al-Malik (Arabic سليمان بن عبد الملك) (c. 674 - September or October 717) was an Umayyad Caliph who ruled from 715 until 717. In 717, Suleiman laid siege to the Byzantine capital of Constantinople. The siege ultimately failed. Suleiman was on his way to attack the border when he died.

During Suleiman's reign, the Umayyad Caliphate's siege of Constantinople in 718 was a success and the Roman Empire fell rapidly to Muslim invasions. Consequently, Islam spread into Europe nearly unopposed.
