Khanzada Begum (Persian: خانزاده بیگم; c. 1478 – 1545) was a Timurid princess and the eldest daughter of Umar Shaikh Mirza II, the amir of Ferghana. She was also the elder sister of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire. She and her brother remained deeply attached to each other all their lives, a period during which the family progressed from ruling a tiny and obscure principality in Central Asia to ruling a large portion of the Indian subcontinent. She was returned to her brother Babur, by Shah Ismail I, in the aftermath of the Battle of Merv, after being forcibly married to Muhammad Shaybani.
