Yunus Khan (c. 1416 – 1487) (Chagatai and Persian: یونس خان), was Khan of Moghulistan from 1462 until his death in 1487. He is identified by many historians with Ḥājjī `Ali (Chinese: 哈只阿力, Pinyin: Hazhi Ali; Chagatai and Persian: حاجی علی), of the contemporary Chinese records. He was the maternal grandfather of Babur, founder of the Mughal Empire. Yunus Khan was a direct male-line descendant of Genghis Khan, through his son Chagatai Khan. Yunus Ali was the eldest son of Uwais Khan (or Vais Khan) of Moghulistan. Babur refers to Yunus Khan's mother as a daughter or granddaughter of Shaykh Nuruddin Beg, a Kipchak beg patronised by Timur. Mirza Muhammad Haidar Dughlat, another grandson of Yunus Khan, calls this woman Daulat Sultan Sakanj, and specifically identifies her as Shaykh Nuruddin Beg's daughter. He also names her paternal grandfather as Sar Bugha Kipchak, one of Timur's most prominent generals. When Vais Khan was killed in 1428 AD, the Moghuls were split as to who should succeed him. Although 12-year-old Yunus Khan was his eldest son, the majority favored Yunus' younger brother, Esen Buqa.
