Barsbolad (Basbolud) Jinong (1490 - 1519) was the Mongol Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Mongolia. Barsbolad (Basbolud) Jinong was the third son of Dayan Khan, who appointed his grandson (the eldest son of Dayan Khan’s second son), Bodi Alagh Khan as his successor. After the death of Dayan Khan, Barsbolad (Basbolud) Jinong proclaimed himself as the great khan, claiming that Bodi Alagh Khan was too young and too inexperienced to maintain the large Mongol empire, and he was able to rally support from some Mongol populace who feared that after a century of fighting, the unification and prosperity finally achieved by Dayan Khan was to be lost and a more experience leader was needed. However, more than three years later, Bodi Alagh Khan allied with another uncle of his, the fourth son of Dayan Khan and challenged the Barsbolad (Basbolud) Jinong, and both sides reached a compromise to avoid bloodshed among fellow Mongols: Barsbolad (Basbolud) Jinong would give up the crown and Bodi Alagh Khan would be the new Great Khan of Mongols, while his sons were also named as different khans. However, the lost of the crown of Great Khan of Mongol was too much for Barsbolad (Basbolud) Jinong and he soon died afterward. Bars Bolud Jinong was the father of Altan Khan, one of the great rulers of the Mongol Empire.
