TheQutlugh-Khanids (Persian:قراختاییان کرمان, otherwise known as theQutlugh-Khanid dynasty,Kirmanid dynasty, or very rarely as theLater Western Liao) was a culturallyPersianatedynasty of ethnicKhitan origin that ruled over Kirman (in present-dayKerman Province,Iran) from 1222 to 1306.

It was founded byBuraq Hajib, who emigrated from theQara Khitai (Western Liao dynasty) during thecollapse of the realm. Originally an independent entity, the Qutlugh-Khanid dynasty subsequently ruled as vassals of theKhwarazmian dynasty, theMongol Empire and theIlkhanate. The dynasty was removed from power by the Ilkhanid rulerÖljaitü, who appointed Nasir al-Din Muhammad ibn Burhan as governor of Kirman.

Although there was no mention of a dynasty called the "Later Western Liao" (后西辽) in traditional Chinese scholarship, Wang Zhilai wrote a paperOn the Later Western Liao (关于"后西辽") in 1983, where he proposed to call the Qutlugh-Khanids the "Later Western Liao", thereby positioning the dynasty as an extension of theWestern Liao.^[1]

TheMongolIlkhanid rulerÖljaitü (r. 1304–1316) ended the Kirman Kara-Khitan dynasty in 1306 after the last of the Qutlugh Khans, Quțb al-Dīn II, neglected to pay his dues to the Mongol treasury. The Qutlugh Khan escaped toShiraz, and his daughter later became the wife of Mubārriz al-Dīn Muhammad, the founder of theMuzaffarid dynasty.^[2]
