Sultan Gugu Sarikula was the fifth sultan of Maguindanao in the Philippines. Sarikula was a direct descendant of Sharif Kabungsuwan, the first sultan of Maguindanao. He was the son of Sultan Bangkaya with his Matampay wife. Sarikula also had half brothers, Dimasangcay Adel and Buisan, who also reigned as sultans of Maguindanao before and after him.
Sarikula was involved in a power struggle with Buisan, which ended on him being ousted by his younger brother to Sulu in 1597.
