'''Sipihr Shikoh''' (13 October 1644 – 2 or 3 July 1708{{cn|date=June 2020}}) also known as ''' Sipihr Shukoh''', was a Mughal prince as the fourth son of Crown Prince [[Dara Shikoh]] and his consort [[Nadira Banu|Nadira Banu Begum]].

==Life==
He was also the grandson of the fifth Mughal Emperor [[Shah Jahan]] as well as the nephew and son-in-law of the sixth Mughal Emperor [[Aurangzeb]].

Sipihr played a role under his father in the War of Succession between the sons of Shah Jahan. During the [[Battle of Samugarh]] he, alongside Dara's general Rustam Khan Dakhini, led a cavalry charge against Aurangzeb's artillery.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Mughal Throne - The Saga of India's Great Emperors |last=Eraly |first=Abraham |year=2004|publisher=Phoenix |location=London |page=352|isbn=9789351181286 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vyVW0STaGBcC&pg=PT439|quote=With a wild war whoop, some 10,000 braves under Sipihr Shukoh, Dara's teenaged son, and Rustam Khan Dakhni, a legendary warrior, galloped out of the curtain of cannon smoke and swooped down on Aurangzeb's artillery in front of them.}}</ref> He also acted as Dara's ambassador in a vain attempt to persuade Maharaja [[Jaswant Singh of Marwar]] to join the cause against Aurangzeb, just prior to the Battle of Deorai on 12–14 April 1659.<ref>{{cite book |title=Moghul India 1653-1708 |last=Manucci |first=Niccolao |year=1907|publisher=John Murray |location=London |page=340|url=https://archive.org/details/storiadomogororm01manuuoft/page/n8|quote=Since Jaswant Singh sent no answer, the afflicted Dara repeated his letter, already dreading that Jaswant Singh would play him false. To compel him to come, he decided to send [240] to him his own son, Super Xaca (Sipihr Shukoh), entreating the rajah not to desert him on this occasion, for on him depended the victory and a decision about the crown.}}</ref>

On 9 June 1659, he was captured and imprisoned by [[Malik Jiwan]], brought to [[Delhi]] and paraded through the streets in chains, then imprisoned at [[Gwalior Fort]] until 1675.

On 9 February 1673, he married his [[first cousin]], Princess [[Zubdat-un-Nissa]], who was a daughter of Aurangzeb and [[Dilras Banu Begum]].

==Death==
He died in 1708, and his body was buried in Agra fort by Emperor [[Bahadur Shah I|Bahadur Shah]]
