Safiqoli Beg, later known as Safiqoli Khan (d. 1679), was a Safavid official and gholam of Georgian origin, who served as the governor (beglarbeg) of Mashhad from 1664 to 1666, and of the Erivan Province (also known as Chokhur-e Sa'd) from 1674 to 1679.

Safiqoli had a son named Rostam, another high-ranking Saakadze figure, and a namesake to Safiqoli's father.
