Suling Jatta (died 24 June 1855) was King of Kombo during the mid-nineteenth century. Jatta was forced to cede a portion of his territory to the British in 1840. He led the Soninke during the early part of the Soninke-Marabout War, and after the Storming of Sabbajee in 1853, ceded more land to the British. Jatta was killed after being shot through the heart during a Marabout attack on his capital at Busumbala in 1855.
