Safiqoli Khan or Safi Qoli Khan (d. 1632) was a Safavid official of Georgian origin, who served as the governor (hakem) of Lar in 1632 during the reign of king Safi (r. 1629–1642).[1][2] A scion of the Undiladze clan, he was a son of Imam-Quli Khan and the grandson of the highly celebrated Safavid military commander and statesman Allahverdi Khan.[1] Safiqoli was however executed in late 1632 along with his father and brother during the widespread purges that were initiated by the order of king Safi himself.[3]
