Nur ud-din Muhammad Salim ( ) (31 August 1569 – 28 October 1627), known by his royal name Jahangir (, ), was the fourth emperor of the Mughal Empire, reigning from 1605 until his death in 1627.

The third and only surviving son of Emperor Akbar I () and his consort Maryam uz-Zamani. Jahangir received a comprehensive education, which included the languages Chagatai, Persian and Hindustani, as well as diverse subjects such as military tactics and social sciences. In 1594, at the age of 26, Jahangir successfully led an army to crush a revolt by the Bundela in Orchha, and after the surrender of their leader Vir Singh Deo, transformed Orchha into a vassal state. As such, the Jahangir Mahal was later constructed in Orchha by Deo in honor of Jahangir. Following Akbar's death, Jahangir succeeded him on 3 November 1605.
