Galdan Boshugtu Khan (1644 – 3 May 1697) was a Choros-Oirat khan of the Dzungar Khanate. As fourth son of Erdeni Batur, founder of the Dzungar Khanate, Galdan was a descendant of Esen Taishi, the powerful Oirat Khan of the Northern Yuan dynasty who united all Mongols in the 15th century. Galdan's mother was a daughter of Güshi Khan, the first Khoshut-Oirat King of Tibet.
