Kökejin Khatun (also called Bairam-Egechi, d. 1300/1) was a Mongolian empress dowager. A powerful political player, she is credited with securing the throne for her son Temür.
== Early life == Kökejin came from the Khunggirad tribe. She was selected as a wife for the crown prince Chingkim by his father, Kublai Khan, who had rejected several candidates before Kökejin was suggested by one of his ministers. According to the fourteenth-century History of Yuan, Kublai had first come across her while he was out on a hunting trip and was impressed by her virtue when she asked him to wait for her parents to return before she could offer him mare's milk to drink.
