Mongolia / China: Ragibagh Khan (r. October 1328 – November 14, 1328); 11th Khagan of the Mongol Empire.

Ragibagh (Arigabag) was a son of Yesun Temur who was briefly installed to the throne of the Yuan Dynasty in Shangdu in 1328. Although he should have been the seventh ruler of the Yuan Dynasty in succession to his father Yesun Temur Khan, or Emperor Taiding, he was dethroned by his rival who was installed by coup before Ragibagh's succession. He is regarded as the 11th Khagan of the Borjigin Empire in Mongolia.

The eldest son of Yesun Temur, Ragibagh was born in 1320, the year of the white monkey. At the end of 1328, the yellow dragon year, he assumed the throne, but only a month later he was dethroned.
