Piri Beg Qajar was an early 16th-century Iranian military officer and official from the Turkoman Qajar tribe, who served under Safavid Shah ("King") Ismail I (1501-1524). He fought at the decisive Battle of Sarur in 1501 against the Ak Koyunlu; for his apparent valor, he was given an honorary name by Ismail I. In the same year, Piri Beg Qajar was appointed as the first Safavid governor (hakem) of Karabakh–Ganja.
