Taydula Khatun (Tay-Dūla Ḫātūn; died 1360) was a queen consort of the Mongol Golden Horde as the wife of Öz Beg Khan (r. 1313–1341) and possibly Nawruz Beg Khan (r.1360). She was also the mother of the khans Tini Beg (r. 1341–1342) and Jani Beg (r. 1342–1357), and the grandmother of Berdi Beg (r. 1357–1359). The favorite of her husband, she gained and retained a lasting importance during the reigns of her sons and grandson, and attempted to hold on to power by appointing the latter's successors.
