Kayqubad (Persian: کیقباد یکم, died 1348) was the 31st ruler of Shirvan.

Reign

His rule was dominated by Chobanid overlordship. According to Munejjimbashi, he was a son of Farrukhzad II. This view was shared by other historians like Bakikhanov, Bidlisi, Rumlu and others, according to Sara Ashurbeyli. Edward von Zambaur and Barthold proposed 1317 as start date for Kayqubad's reign, however there is no concrete evidence for this.

According to Abd al-Razzaq Samarqandi, Malek Ashraf offered to take her daughter's hand, however his son Kavus, who was already in a position of co-ruler refused this. His name disappears from records around 1348, which is considered his possible death date.

Keygubad Mosque is considered to be made on his order.

Family

He had at least three children:

• Kavus (r. 1348 – 1372)
• Sultan Muhammad — ancestor of Darbandid branch, governor of Derbent, father of Ibrahim I[5]
• A daughter
