Itakh al-Khazari (Arabic إيتاخ الخزري) was a leading commander in the Turkish army of the Abbasid caliph al-Mu'tasim (r. 833-842 C.E.). As the nisba in his name suggests, he was a Khazar by origin, and is said to have been working as a cook before he was purchased by al-Mu'tasim at some time before 819. During al-Mutawakkil's reign (r. 847-861), Itakh's power over the army at Samarra became a threat to caliphal authority, and al-Mutawakkil had him discretely murdered in 849.
