Abdur Rahman Atiku (Arabic: عبد الرحمن أتيكو) sometimes known as Abdu or Abd al-Rahman bin Atiku was the Sultan of Sokoto from 1891 to 1902. In earlier vacancies, he had been a contender from the house of Atiku, but the house had been passed over three times since the death of Ahmadu Rufai in 1873. Abubakar Na Rabah, Mu'azu, and Umaru bin Ali subsequent Sultans after Rufai were from the house of Muhammed Bello.

His nickname 'Danyen kasko', meaning 'unbaked pot' in Hausa, came from a proverb, "Danyen kasko ba shi kai ruwa ban daki" (an unbaked pot does not carry water to the back of the house).^[1]
