Mohammad Khan Qajar (Persian: محمدخان قاجار) was the khan (governor) of the Erivan Khanate from 1784 to 1805. In order to perserve his realm, he acknowledged the suzerainty of Heraclius II (r. 1762–1798), the ruler of the eastern Georgian kingdom of (Kartli-Kakheti). He was later taken into custody under the orders of Agha Mohammad Khan (r. 1789–1797), the Qajar king (shah) of Iran. However, because of their shared Qajar ancestry, Mohammad Khan was spared.[1]
Agha Mohammad Khan's successor, Fath-Ali Shah Qajar (r. 1797–1834), sent him back to Erivan to continue as its governor. Although Mohammad Khan was not noted for being courageous, he was skilled in politics and maintained contact with the Russians and Ottomans, while also guaranteeing Iran his allegiance. In 1805, he was dismissed to Iran by the shah due to his interactions with Russia during and after the siege of Erivan.[1]
He was succeeded by Mehdi Qoli Khan Qajar.[2]
