Khutughtu Khan (born Khüslen; 22 December 1300 – 30 August 1329), also known by his temple name as the Emperor Mingzong of Yuan, was a son of Khayishan (Emperor Wuzong) who seized the throne of the Yuan dynasty of China in 1329, but died in suspicious circumstances six months later. Apart from the Emperor of China, he is considered as the 13th Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, although it was only nominal due to the division of the empire.
