Kebek Sultan Oghlan (کیباک سلطان اغلان; died c. 1472) was Khan of eastern Moghulistan, the region known as Uyghurstan, from 1468 or 1469 until his death. A member of the Chagatai dynasty, he was the son of Dost Muhammad and a grandson of Esen Buqa II.[1] His reign was brief, ending when he was betrayed and killed by his own followers.[2]
Esen Buqa II, Khan of Moghulistan, died in 1462, and the khanate split between his brother Yunus Khan and his son Dost Muhammad.[3] Dost Muhammad held the eastern territories, ruling from Aksu over the region of Uyghurstan, while Yunus Khan controlled the western portion of the khanate.[4]
