Rinchinbal (Classical Mongolian: Rinčinbal; Khalkha Mongolian:Ринчинбал Rinchinbal from Tibetan rin chen dpal) (1326 – 1332) was the Emperor of China and ruled as emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, khanate of Mongol Empire.
He was the second son of Kuśala Khutughtu Khan and a younger brother of Toghun Temür. He was mothered by Babusha of the Naiman tribe when his father lived in exile in Central Asia.
When his father Kuśala died and was succeeded by Tugh Temür, Rinchinbal was appointed to Prince of Fu. Although Tugh Temür Khan had a son named El Tegüs when he died in 1332, his widow and El Tegüs's mother Budashiri Khatun respected Tugh Temür's will of making Kuśala's son succeed the throne instead of El Tegüs.
The de facto ruler El Temür resisted letting Kuśala's eldest son Toghun Temür accede to the throne since he was suspected of having poisoned his father Kuśala. While Toghun Temür was kept far away from the capital Dadu, infant Rinchinbal was in Dadu and had became favored by Tugh Temür. Thus El Temür decided to install Rinchinbal as grand-khan, but he died two months later, aged only seven.
El Temür again asked Budashiri to install El Tegüs but was declined. He had no choice but to invite Toghun Temür back from far-away Yunnan.
