Agacheri was a Turkmen tribe that inhabited parts of Anatolia until the 14th century. They were allied with the Qara Qoyunlu during the 14–15th centuries but shifted their allegiance to the Aq Qoyunlu upon the downfall of the former. A portion of the tribe remained in Anatolia, while another migrated to Iran, where they additionally incorporated Lurs. The tribe is known by its historical name in Iran, while it is thought to be connected to the Tahtacı in Turkey.
