Nawruz Ahmad (Baraq Khan)[a] (ruled 1552-1556) was Khan of Tashkent, and a ruler of the Khanate of Bukhara, belonging to the Shaybanid dynasty. He was a son of Suyūnkhuja Khān.[2]
In 1552, Barak Khān attacked the Jani-Begid territory between Samarqand and Bukhara, and forced them to abandon their dominion. After the death of 'Abd al-Latif, the Khanate of Bukhara then passed into the hands of Barak Khān, and he moved his capital from Tashkent to Samarkand.[3]
He also fought against the Chaghatay Khanate in the east.[5]
