Kebek or Kepek (Turki/Kypchak: éèé) was Khan of the Golden Horde from 1413 to 1414.
Kebek was a son of Tokhtamysh and a brother of his immediate predecessor (and successor) Karëm Berdi. They were descendants of Tuqa-Timur, the son of Jochi, the son of Chinggis Khan.
After their father was killed in battle against ShÃÂdë Beg Khan and Nà «r ad-Dën, the son of Edigu, in 1407, the sons of Tokhtamysh dispersed. Some, led by the eldest, JalÃÂl ad-Dën, fled to Moscow and then to Lithuania. Others, including Kebek, sought refuge in Sighnaq, under Timurid protection. In early 1409, one of the brothers, Karëm Berdi, briefly seized the capital Sarai. In early 1412, JalÃÂl ad-Dën did the same, eliminating his rival, Tëmà «r Khan. In October of the same year, however, JalÃÂl ad-Dën was murdered by one of his brothers, according to some accounts Kebek. Karëm Berdi became khan again, reversing JalÃÂl ad-Dën's policies, showing himself amenable to the reigning princes in Russia and hostile to Grand Prince Vytautas of Lithuania. Vytautas responded by proclaiming a certain "Betsabul" as khan in opposition to Karëm Berdi. In combination with other evidence, it is believed that "Betsabul" was actually Kebek, who succeeded in driving out Karëm Berdi with Lithuanian help, in the spring of 1413.
Now khan, Kebek naturally favored his Lithuanian protector and ally, Vytautas. Kebek's authority was quickly recognized throughout the Golden Horde. In the summer of 1413, he campaigned in the Crimea, besieging Genoese Kaffa, but he abandoned the siege on 12 June. He was apparently called away by the threat posed by Edigu. Engaged in negotiations with JalÃÂl ad-Dën and Karëm Berdi, Edigu had refrained from setting up a new puppet khan of his own, but Kebek's usurpation led him to proclaim one Chekre, a descendant of Tuqa-Timur, as khan in Sibir and Bolghar in 1413. Despite an initial victory over Chekre, Kebek suffered reverses at the hands of Edigu; but the main beneficiary of this was Karëm Berdi. After several battles, Karëm Berdi defeated, captured, and beheaded Kebek in 1414. The victory allowed Karëm Berdi to resume the throne, but before long another of his brothers, JabbÃÂr Berdi was set up as a rival khan by Vytautas of Lithuania.
According to the Muÿizz al-ansÃÂb, Kebek had a son, ChaghatÃÂy-Sulá¹ÂÃÂn, and two daughters, SarÃÂy-Mulk and Shërën-Bëka. The TawÃÂrëḫ-i guzëdah-i nuá¹£rat-nÃÂmah mentions only the first and last.
