Toghrul (Mongolian: Тоорил хан Tooril han; Chinese: 脫里), also known as Wang Khan or Ong Khan (Ван хан Wan han; Chinese: 王汗; pinyin: Wáng Hán; died 1203), was a khan of the Keraites. He was the blood brother (anda) of the Mongol chief Yesugei and served as an important early patron and ally to Yesugei's son Temüjin, later known as Genghis Khan. The main source on his life is the Secret History of the Mongols.
