Bahadir I Giray (1602-1641) was Khan of Crimea from 1637 to 1641, succeeding Inayet Giray and preceding Mehmed IV Giray. A son of Selamet I Giray, he was raised at the Turkish court as a hostage and was enthroned by the Ottomans in 1637 after their deposition of Inayet. He battled the Don Cossacks of Azaq-kale and the Poles, and he died of illness in 1641 shortly after returning from a failed siege of Azaq-kale.
