Kildi Beg (Turki/Kypchak: کلدی بک; died 1362) was Khan of the Golden Horde from 1361 to 1362, having replaced his rival Ordu Malik. The origins and identity of the khan who reigned under the name Kildi Beg pose problems. A prince of this name was a son of Iran Beg, son of Khan Öz Beg, according to the comprehensive genealogical compendium Muʿizz al-ansāb.

It would seem that this pretended Kildi Beg corresponds to Qulpa, who reigned between Berdi Beg and Nawruz Beg. Muʿīn-ad-Dīn Naṭanzī (earlier known as the "Anonymous of Iskandar") also placed a pretended Kildi Beg immediately after Berdi Beg, as a...
