Khadem Beg Talish (Persian: خادم بیگ تالش) (died 1514) was a Sufi and military commander of Talysh origin, who served the Safavid order, and later the dynasty established by the order, the Safavid dynasty. Khadem Beg was a retainer of Soltan Ali Safavi and his brother Ismail Mirza, when they were child,[1] and an important advisor to the Shah Ismail (r. 1501–1524).[2]
He died in the Battle of Chaldiran.[1]
