Jambyn Batmönkh (Mongolian: Жамбын Батмөнх; 10 March 1926 - May 14, 1997) was a Mongolian communist political leader.
Batmönkh was born in Khyargas sum of Uvs aimag.[1] He became a member of the ruling Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party in 1948 and rose through the ranks of the party. He became the minister of science in 1973, a member of the politburo in 1974, and the prime minister (chairman of the council of ministers) in June 1974.
In 1984, along with D. Molomjamts, Batmönkh played a key role in easing Tsedenbal's way out of power. In 1984, he became head of state when the party's long-time leader, Yumjaagiin Tsedenbal, was ousted in a party congress. Batmönkh strengthened Mongolia's alliance with the Soviet Union, but as in many other communist countries, there was much pressure for the party to give up power.
In March 1990 the first democratic alliance, called Ardchilsan Kholboo, launched a hunger strike urging that the communist government led by Batmönkh resign. The strikers succeeded and just after his resignation he retired.
During the 1990s he lived in retirement in Ulaanbaatar.
