Muzaffar al-Din Jahan Shah ibn Yusuf (Azerbaijani: Müzəffərəddin Cahan şah ibn Yusif مُظفَرَالدِّین جَهَان شَاه ابْن یوسف Persian: جهان شاهجهان شاه; 1397 or 1405 – 30 October or 11 November 1467), also known as Abu al-Muzaffar Jahan Shah or Jihan Shah, was the leader of the Qara Qoyunlu tribal confederacy from 1438 to 1467. Jahan Shah wrote lyrical poems in Azerbaijani Turkic under the pen name Haqiqi.
During his reign expanded the Qara Qoyunlu's territory to its largest extent, including Eastern Anatolia, most of present-day Iraq, central Iran, and even eventually Kerman. He also conquered neighbouring states. He was one of the greatest rulers of the Qara Qoyunlu. He was also allegedly fond of drinking and entertainment. During his reign Jahan Shah had the Gökmedrese and Muzafferiye theological schools constructed in his capital city Tabriz.
