Yunus Khan (b. 1416 – d. 1487) (Chagatai and Persian: یونس خان), was Khan of Moghulistan from 1462 until his death in 1487. He is identified by many historians with Ḥājjī `Ali (Chinese: 哈只阿力, Pinyin: Hazhi Ali; Chagatai and Persian: حاجی علی), of the contemporary Chinese records.[1][2] He was the maternal grandfather of Babur, founder of the Mughal Empire.
Yunus Khan was a direct male-line descendant of Genghis Khan, through his son Chagatai Khan.
