Timur (from , ultimately from Chagatai: "iron"; 8 April 1336 � 18 February 1405), historically known as Tamerlane in English (from , , "Timur the Lame"), was a fourteenth-century conqueror of West, South and Central Asia, and the founder of the Timurid dynasty (1370 � 1405) in Central Asia, and great, great grandfather of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Dynasty, which survived as the Mughal Empire in India until 1857.

Timur was in his lifetime a controversial figure, and remains so today. He sought to restore the Mongol Empire, yet his heaviest blow was against the Islamized Tatar Golden Horde. He was more at home in an urban environment than on the steppe. He styled himself a ghazi while conducting wars that severely affected some Muslim states, in particular the Sultanate of Delhi. A great patron of the arts, his campaigns also caused vast destruction.
