Quba Khanate (Azerbaijani: قوبا خانلیغی; Persian: خانات قبه) was one of the most significant semi-independent khanate that existed from 1747 to 1806, under Iranian suzerainty.^[5]^[6] It bordered Caspian sea to the east, Derbent Khanate to the north, Shaki Khanate to the west, and Baku and Shirvan Khanates to the south.^[7] In 1755 the Khanate conquered Salyan from the Karabakh Khanate.^[8]

The khanate achieved its greatest prominence under Fatali Khan. In 1765 Derbent was conquered by him.^[8]

After Fath Ali Khan's death, the Khanate's influence declined. As a result of Mohammad Khan Qajar's conquests and the devastation it had brought, the Alliance of Northern khanates disintegrated. The Khanate was conquered by Russia in 1806, and was fully incorporated into newly created Shamakha Governorate by 1846.^[9]
