Yesügei Baghatur (d. 1171) was the father of Genghis Khan (May 31, 1162? - August 25, 1227).

Specifically, Genghis Khan was the son of Yesügei and his chief wife, Hoelun. Genghis' parents were members of different tribes, his father's being the Kiyad and his mother's being the Olkhunut. Genghis' mother was engaged to a Merkit tribal member when she was kidnapped by Genghis' father, around 1153. But as his chief wife, she found considerable consolation in the fact that her children would be her husband's heirs.
