Shamshaddil or The Sultanate of Shamshaddil (azerb. Şəmşəddil sultanlığı) was a sultanate established in the middle of the 18th century (1747). The area was 4,200 versts (1 verst equals to 1,067 square meters), and the population mainly consisted of Zulgadar clan, taking roots from the Qizilbash Turkic tribes. The center was the village of Oksuzlu (in the territory of Tovuz).

The Shamshaddil sultanate was headed by the Zulgadar clan. The Zulgadars lived mainly in the village of Khilkhina. Although the Shamshaddil sultanate was subordinated to the Ganja khanate and the Kartli Tsar from time to time, it always fought for independence. The Shamshaddil sultanate, also known as the Shamsaddin sultanate (district) in history, joined Russia in 1801. The first sultan of Shamshaddil was Sultan Allahverdi Zulqadar. He ruled from 1747 to 1761. The most powerful sultan of Shamsaddil was Nasib sultan (1797-1819).
