Raja Askaran (? – c. 1599) was a late sixteenth-century Kachwaha Rajput ruler. Though briefly Raja of Amber, for the majority of his life Askaran was the ruler of Narwar. He along with his sons and grandsons also had a distinguished career as military officers and noblemen under Mughal Emperor Akbar and rose high in his service. He was also the maternal grandfather of Manavati Bai of Marwar consort of Emperor Jahangir and mother of Emperor Shah Jahan,hence maternal great grandfather of Shahjahan.
