Timur Lenk, född 9 april 1336 i Kesh i nuvarande Uzbekistan, död 18 februari 1405 i Otrar i nuvarande Kazakstan, var en turk-mongolisk krigsherre och skapare av dynastin Timuriderna. Timur Lenk var en mycket framgångsrik och extremt brutal fältherre. Under sin tid vid makten expanderade han Timuridernas territorium så att det till slut upptog området från nuvarande Turkiet till Indien. Timur Lenk hade för avsikt att återskapa Djingis khans tidigare imperium. Han är i litteraturen även känd som Tamburlaine och Tamerlan. Timur Lenk betyder "Timur den halte" efter en skada han fick som 20-åring.
