Nawruz Ahmad (Baraq Khan)

Nawruz Ahmad (Baraq Khan) (ruled 1552-1556) was Khan of Tashkent, and a ruler of the Khanate of Bukhara, belonging to the Shaybanid dynasty. He was a son of Suyūnkhuja Khān.

In 1552, Barak Khān attacked the Jani-Begid territory between Samarqand and Bukhara, and forced them to abandon their dominion. After the death of 'Abd al-Latif, the Khanate of Bukhara then passed into the hands of Barak Khān, and he moved his capital from Tashkent to Samarkand.

He also fought against the Chaghatay Khanate in the east.
