Berdi Beg or Berdibek (Turki/Kypchak: بردی بک; Persian: محمد بردی بیگ; c. 1310 – 1359) was Khan of the Golden Horde from 1357 to 1359, having succeeded his father Jani Beg. Berdi Beg was the last khan to rule before the beginning of a long cycle of civil wars in the Golden Horde known as the Great Troubles.
