Arghun Agha, also Arghun Aqa or Arghun the Elder (Persian: ارغون آقا; Mongolian: ᠠᠷᠭᠤᠨ; fl. 1220 - 1275) was a Mongol noble of the Oirat clan in the 13th century. He was a governor in the Mongol-controlled area of Persia from 1243 to 1255, before the Ilkhanate was created by Hulagu.[3] Arghun Agha was in control of the four districts of eastern and central Persia, as decreed by the great khan Möngke Khan.
