Markörgis Khan (Ükegtü) (1448 - 1465), was the Mongol Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Mongolia. Markörgis Khan (Ükegtü) was the youngest son of Tayisung Khan, Emperor Taizong of Northern Yuan (Toghtoa Bukha or Toγtoγa Buqa), and after Esen Tayisi was killed, he was crowned as the Mongol Khan with the help of Mongol nobles who were the direct descendants of Belgutei, and it was these Mongol nobles who held the real power, who constantly fought each other for dominance. In 1465, the Mongol nobles openly went to war against each other in their power struggle and Markörgis Khan (Ükegtü) was killed as a result. Markörgis Khan (Ükegtü) was succeeded by his eldest brother Mulan Khan (Tögüs Mengke).
