Ladli Begum (born 1605) was the daughter of Sher Afghan, and was married to Mughal prince, Shahryar.

Ladli's father (Sher Afghan) was killed in 1607. Her mother later wed the Mughal Emperor Jehangir and took the name Nur Jahan. As the favourite wife of Jehangir, Nur Jahan used her great influence to arrange the marriage of Ladli with Shahryar, son of Jehangir by a different wife.

She had a daughter from Shahryar, Arzani Begum.[1]
