The Muraqqaʿ-e Gulshan or Moraqqaʿ-e Golshan ('Gulshan Album') is an eclectic album (muraqqa) of miniature paintings, drawings, calligraphy and engravings by Indo-Persian, Deccani, Turkish and European artists.[4]

The album was compiled in early 17th century AD (11th century AH) Mughal India by Prince Salim (later Emperor Jahangir) as a source of wisdom and pleasure.[4][5] Most of its surviving folios are in the library of Gulistan Palace, Tehran.[4]
