The Meukuta Alam dynasty was the first as well as the founding dynasty of Aceh, founded by Ali Mughayat Syah in the 16th century, Aceh rose as one of the most prominent Muslim kingdoms in Southeast Asia. Under this dynasty, Aceh lorded over a vast territory across Sumatra and the Malay peninsula, particularly during the rule of Iskandar Muda in the 17th century.

Although being the founding dynasty of Aceh, the Meukuta Alam dynasty did not retain its position as the sole ruler of Aceh, takeovers by other dynasties often occurred in the kingdom. The Meukuta Alam dynasty was interrupted by two dynasties, one originated from West Sumatra and the other originated from Malacca.
