Sultan Saidi (Jawi: سلطان سعيدي; d. 7 January 1657) was the tenth Sultan of Tidore in Maluku islands. He was also known as Magiau (مݢيأو), and ruled from 1640 to 1657. His reign saw intermittent hostilities with Tidore's traditional rival, the Sultanate of Ternate, which included interference in an anti-Dutch rebellion in Ternate and Ambon and attempts to increase Tidorese territory in Maluku. By the time of Saidi's reign Tidore had gained a political position in parts of the Papuan territories.[1]
