Safiqoli Khan Undiladze

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.

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).

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. 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.
