El Temür (Chinese: 燕帖木兒; pinyin: Yān Tiēmù'er; Mongolian:ᠡᠯᠲᠡᠮᠦᠷ; died 1333) was an ethnic Kipchak[1] official of the Yuan dynasty.
After the surrender of Shangdu forces, Tugh Temür abdicated in favour of his brother Kusala (Emperor Mingzong) who was backed by Chagatai Khan Eljigidey and announced Khanbaliq's intent to welcome him.
However, Kusala suddenly died only four days after a banquet with Tugh Temür, supposedly killed with poison by El Temür, who purged pro-Kusala officials and brought power to warlords, whose despotic rule marked the decline of the Yuan dynasty.
His daughter, Danashiri, married Toghon Temür (Emperor Huizong) and bore him a son but he died when he was a child.
El Temür became ill and died in 1333 and his children Danashiri and Tanggici were subsequently murdered by former co-conspirator Bayan in 1335.
