Mirza Rafi ud-Darajat (Persian pronunciation: [ɾa.fiːʔ.ud.da.ɾa.ˈd͡ʒɑːt]); 1 December 1699 – 6 June 1719) was briefly the Eleventh Mughal emperor. He was the youngest son of Rafi-ush-Shan, the nephew of Azim-ush-Shan and a grandson of Bahadur Shah I.

He was placed on the throne by the Sayyid brothers after they deposed, blinded, imprisoned and executed emperor Farrukhsiyar with the help of Maharaja Ajit Singh and the Marathas in 1719.^[1][2]
