The Arghun dynasty (Persian: خانوادهٔ ارغون) was a Turco-Mongol dynasty that ruled over the area adjoining Southern Afghanistan and then Sindh from the late 15th century to the early 16th century. Arghun rule can be divided into two branches: the Arghun branch of Dhu'l-Nun Beg Arghun that ruled until 1554, and the Tarkhan branch of Muhammad Isa Tarkhan that ruled until 1593.
