Jahangir Khan Ajudanbashi (1834–1891) was an Iranian Armenian military officer and diplomat from the Enikolopian family, who was active during the reign of the Qajar shah (king) Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (r. 1848–1896). He was the son of Solayman Khan Saham al-Dowleh, who had relocated to Iran from Tiflis. Because of Solayman Khan's reputation, Jahangir Khan was able to win Naser al-Din Shah's support and make substantial progress in his career.[1][2] Jahangir died on 23 August 1891.[1]
