Shiban (/ˈʃɪbən/; Mongolian: Шибан [ˈɕib̥əɴ]), Siban (Kazakh: Сибан) or Shayban (/ʃˈbɑːn/; Persian: شيبان [ʃæjˈbɒːn]) was a prince of the early Golden Horde, a division of the Mongol Empire. He was a grandson of Genghis Khan, the fifth son of Jochi and a younger brother of Batu Khan who founded the Golden Horde. His descendants were the Shaybanids who became important about two centuries later.
