Buqa Temür (Chagatai andPersian: بوقا تیمور; Cyrillic Mongolian:Бөхтөмөр, not to be confused withTuka Timur, son of Djötchi, brother of Berke) wasKhan of theChagatai Khanate (1272?-1282). He was the son of Qadaqchi.
Sometime around 1272 Buqa Temür killedNegübei, who had risen in revolt againstKaidu. Perhaps as a reward for this, Kaidu appointed him as head of the Chagatai Khanate. Soon after, he was stricken by illness, and the rest of his reign was marked by a failure to impose his authority. He was helpless against the raids of the sons ofAlghu andBaraq, as well as forces of theIlkhanate. In 1282 he was replaced byDuwa.[1]
