Saghang Sechen (1604 – after 1641) was an ethnic Mongol writer, historian, and prince from the Borjigin clan.

He is primarily remembered for writing Erdeniin Tobchi (1662), a history of the Mongol great Khans which was written to promote unity among the Mongols. He also wrote a number of biographies, covering Godan Khan and the Shakyamuni Buddha. The historian was reputedly executed by the Qing dynasty for refusing to become their subject.
