Manduuluu Khan (Manduyul or Manduyulun) (1438 - 1478), was the Mongol Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Mongolia, and he was the younger brother of Tayisung Khan, Emperor Taizong of Northern Yuan (Toghtoa Bukha or Toγtoγa Buqa), but the two had different mothers. After the death of Mulan Khan, the position remain vacant for nearly a decade as warring Mongol clans fought each other for dominance, and it was not until finally in 1475, when Manduulun Khan (Manduyul) was finally crowned as the new khan. During his short rule, Manduuluu Khan (Manduyul, Manduyulun) successfully strengthened the power of khan and reduced the power of nobles, and paved the way for his great-grandnephew Dayan Khan (Batu Möngke) who succeeded him (Manduuluu khan had no direct male heirs).
