Safiqoli Khan Undiladze

Safiqoli Khan (also spelled Safi Qoli; died 1632) was a Safavid official of Georgian origin, who served as the governor (hakem) of Lar in 1629-1630 (1st tenure) and in 1632 (2nd tenure) during the reign of king Safi (r. 1629–1642).[1][2]

For the son of the 17th-century Safavid commander-in-chief Rustam Khan, see Safiqoli Khan (son of Rostam Khan). For the 17th-century Safavid governor of Baghdad and Hamadan, see Safiqoli Khan.

A scion of the Undiladze clan, he was a son of Imam-Quli Khan and thus a grandson of the highly celebrated Safavid military commander and statesman Allahverdi Khan.[1] In late 1632, during the widespread purges that were initiated by the order of king Safi himself, Safiqoli was executed along with his father and brother.[3]
