Togha Temür (died December 1353), also known as Ṭaghāytīmūr, was a claimant to the throne of the Ilkhanate in the mid-14th century. Of the many individuals who attempted to become Il khan after the death of Abu Sa'id Bahadur Khan, Togha Temür was the only one who hailed from eastern Iran, and was the last major candidate who was of the house of Genghis Khan. His base of power was Gorgan and western Khorasan. His name means "Bowl/Pot Iron" in Middle Mongol.
