Arslanghali (Arslan, Arıslan) khan [1] (died 1627) was a khan of the Qasim Khanate from 1614 to 1627, and a son of and a grandson of Kuchum. In 1598 he was captured by the Russians during Kuchum's final defeat.[2] In the time of Troubles he with his father fought against the False Dmitriys. Supporting Mikhail Romanov, he became a khan in the vassal Qasim Khanate, but his rule was limited and rather formal: only the Muslims and Kasimov population obeyed him.
