Shua'u’llah Behai (1878 - July 3,1950), also known in the Baha’i tradition as Mirza Shua'u’llah, was the son of Mírzá Muhammad `Alí, son of Baha’u'llah.. Shua'u’llah Behai was the eldest grandson of Bahá'u'lláh, the founder-prophet of the Bahá'í Faith, and the eldest son of Mírzá Muhammad `Alí, whom Bahá'u'lláh named Ghusn-i-Akbar, meaning "Greater Branch." Shua'u’llah Behai was fluent in English and is the only known descendant of the Baha’i prophet to have become an American citizen. Shua'u’llah Behai was born in Qasr al-Mazra'a, ("Palace of Mazra'a”) Acre District, Palestine, and grew to maturity under the shadow of the Great Baha’u’llah.

Shua Ullah Behai immigrated to the United States in 1904 where he led the Unitarian Baha'i denomination, and in 1914 he became a United States citizen in Los Angeles.

Behai compiled an introduction to the Baha'i faith in the 1940s, the documents of which were preserved by his niece Nigar Bahai Amsalem and published in A Lost History of the Baha'i Faith: The Progressive Tradition of Baha'u'llah's Forgotten Family.

From 1934 to 1937, Behai published Behai Quarterly, a Unitarian Bahá'í magazine written in English and featuring the writings of Ghusn-i-Akbar and various other Unitarian Bahais.
