Babukhan (fl. 1328) (, ) was the wife of Taiding Emperor of the Yuan dynasty. She served as regent in 1328.
Life Babukhan's father was either Woliuchar or Maizhuhan, both grandsons of Anchen. She was established as empress in the third month of the first year of Taiding's reign (1324).
Her husband died four years later in Shangdu and she instantly went into motion to assure that her son Ragibagh - the designated heir - would indeed ascend the throne. Tuq Temur, son of Khaishan, took power, and had Tianshun executed.
