Ramaḍān Beg (died before June 1354) was a Turkoman chieftain of the Yüregir[1] tribe who founded the Ramadanid Emirate in southern Anatolia. He would eventually be granted the position Emir of the Turkomans by the Mamluks following the Dulkadirid leader Zayn al-Dīn Qarāja's dismissal in 1352 due to a rebellion he joined.[2] Ramaḍān is thought to have died before June 1354, when his son Ibrahim arrived in the sultan's court in Damascus with a gift of a thousand horses, securing the position his father had received.[2] According to the Ottoman historian Aşıkpaşazade, Ramaḍān issued protection for his Armenian subjects upon gaining control of Adana, Tarsus, and Missis.[3] Further details about his life and reign are unknown as the Ramadanids came into the spotlight with his son Ibrahim's rule.[4]
