Timurid refers to those descended from Timur (Tamerlane), a 14th-century conqueror:

  • Timurid dynasty, a Persian dynasty of Turco-Mongol lineage descended from Timur who established empires in Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent
    • Timurid Empire of Central Asia, founded by Timur
    • Mughal Empire of the Indian subcontinent, founded by Timur's descendants (also sometimes referred to as the 'Timurid Empire')
