Bahadur Khan Kokaltash (Persian: بهادرخان کوکلتاش; died 23 November 1697) was a foster-brother to the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb and the Subahdar of Lahore, Burhanpur and the Deccan. Aurangzeb had two foster-brothers, the other being Fidai Khan Koka, of which Bahadur Khan was Aurangzeb's favourite. Bahadur was the Senior General of the Mughal Empire and a closer companion to the emperor Aurangzeb. He was one of the military commanders of the Mughals who assisted in the defeat of the Maratha Confederacy in one major battle, and won three major battles in his involvement in the Mughal–Maratha Wars. His tomb is located in Lahore, in present-day Pakistan. His father Mir Abu’l-Ma'ali was given the title of Sayyid-e-Khafi" by Aurangzeb.
