Naghachu (ᠨᠠᠭᠠᠴᠦMongolian:Naγaču;Chinese:納哈出; d. 31 August 1388^[1]), also written asNahacu, was an ethnicMongol leader and general of theNorthern Yuan inManchuria, which was underLiaoyang province of the formerYuan dynasty.

Originally a Yuan official, Naghachu had won hegemony over the Mongol tribes in a wide area including much ofRehe andLiaoning by the mid-1380s. His influence became strong in the northeast, with forces large enough (numbering hundreds of thousands) to threaten invasion of the newly foundedMing dynasty in order to restore the Mongols to power inChina proper. Instead of waiting for the Northern Yuan to attack, in 1387 the Ming senta military campaign to attack Naghachu and forced his surrender^[2] after successful diplomacy. Naghachu and thousands of his officers and relatives were sent to Nanjing, the capital of the Ming dynasty at that time. The Ming granted Naghachu himself amarquisate with a stipend of 2,000 piculs of grain, estate of public fields inJiangxi, and a mansion in Nanjing. He died nearWuchang on 31 August 1388, probably from overindulgence inalcohol, and was buried outside Nanjing.^[3]
