Piri Beg Qajar was an early 16th-century Iranian military officer and official from the Turkoman Qajar tribe, who served under Safavid Shah ("King") Ismail I (r. 1501-1524).
He fought at the decisive Battle of Sarur in 1501 against the Ak Koyunlu; for his apparent valor, he was given an honorary name by Ismail I.
[1] In the same year, Piri Beg Qajar was appointed as the first Safavid governor (hakem) of Karabakh–Ganja.
[1] Nevertheless, neither Piri Beg nor Acheh Soltan were leading amirs "in the sense of holding high office in the early Safavid administration".
