Sarukhan (1300/01–1345/46) was a Turkish Bey of Magnesia (present-day Manisa, Turkey).^[1]

Sarukhan was a Turkish Bey who is remembered for his conquests in the western Anatolian Peninsula. In 1313, he occupied Thyatira (present-day Akhisar, Manisa Province), and then left his name "Saruhan" to the region he had occupied, becoming an independent ruler and transmitting the region to his descendants.^[2]

At one point in 1336, Sarukhan formed an alliance with the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos III Palaiologos, and supported him militarily in two sieges against the Genoese, in Mytilene and Phocaea.^[3] In 1341 however he attacked Constantinople with a fleet, but was repulsed around the Gallipoli peninsula by a Byzantine fleet in 1341.^[3]
