Dayan Khan (Mongolian: Даян Хаан; Mongol script: ᠳᠠᠶᠠᠨ ᠬᠠᠭᠠᠨ; Chinese: 達延汗), born Batumöngke (Mongolian: Батмөнх; Chinese: 巴圖蒙克), (1472–1517) was a khagan of the Northern Yuan dynasty, reigning from 1480 to 1517. During his rule, he reunited the Mongols under Chinggisid supremacy. His reigning title, "Dayan", means "the whole"[6] or "Long lasting" in Mongolian language as he was the longest reigning khaan of the unified Mongols.

Dayan Khan, eliminated Oirat power and abolished the taishi system used by both local and foreign warlords. Dayan Khan's victory at Dalan Tergin reunified the Mongols and solidified their identity as Chinggisid people. His decision to divide the Six tumens of Eastern Mongolia as fiefs for his sons created decentralized but stable Borjigin rule over the Mongolian Plateau for a century.
