Jahangir (Persian: جهانگیر) was the uncontested leader of the Aq Qoyunlu from 1444 to 1454. He was a son of Ali Aq Qoyunlu. Afterwards, he fell into a dynastic struggle with his younger brother Uzun Hasan, who by 1457 had defeated him and assumed full power over the confederation.[1][2] Jahangir later died in 1469.[3]
One of his descendants, Qasim Bey, would briefly rule from 1497-1501, during a period of dynastic struggle.
