Sheikh Ahmed (died 1529) was Khan of the Great Horde from 1481 to 1502, succeeding Ahmed Khan bin Kuchuk. A son of Ahmed Khan, he succeeded his father after a struggle with his brothers. He allied with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania against the Muscovite-backed Crimean Khanate, and he attacked Moscow in 1501 and conquered Rylsk, Novhorod-Siverskyi, and Starodub, which he ceded to Lithuania. In 1502, his army was destroyed by famine, desertion, and battle at the Sula River, and he was forced into exile in Lithuania, where he was imprisoned. He was used as a bargaining chip, with the Lithuanians threatening to release him if Menli I Giray did not ally with Lithuania. Sheikh Ahmed was released after the Battle of Olshanitsa and moved to the Astrakhan Khanate, where he died in 1529. The sack of Sarai by the Crimean Tatars in 1502 brought an end to the Golden Horde.
