Sur (, literally the color "red"), also known as Suri, Zur and Zuri , are a historical Pashtun tribe living primarily in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They trace their descent to the Ghorids, a formerly Hindu and later Islamic dynasty originating from Mandesh in the Ghor region of modern-day central Afghanistan. The founder of the Sur Empire in India, Sher Shah Suri, belonged to the Sur tribe. They ruled the Suri Empire from 1540 until they were removed from power in 1556–57 by the Mughal Empire.
