'''Bayazid Khan Karrani''' ({{lang-bn|বায়েজীদ খান কররানী}}, {{lang-fa|{{Nastaliq|بايزيد خان کرانی}}}}) was the third Sultan of the [[Bengal Sultanate]]'s [[Karrani dynasty]].

==Life==
During the reign of his father, [[Sulaiman Khan Karrani]], he was given the command of a force on a campaign to [[Orissa]] in 1567. The campaign was successful and the king, who was an [[Eastern Chalukyas|Eastern Chalukya]] from [[Andhra Pradesh|Andhra]] who had conquered Orissa in the 1550s, was defeated.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Territories and States of India|page=195|chapter=States (Orissa)|date=2 Sep 2003|publisher=Routledge|author1=Tara Boland-Crewe|author2=David Lea}}</ref> [[Bajitpur Upazila|Bayazidpur]], now ''Bajitpur'', in modern-day [[Kishoreganj District]] was said to have been named after him.<ref>{{cite book|title=Oriental Geographer, Volumes 8-11|page=121|year=1964|publisher=Bangladesh Geographical Society}}</ref>

After his father died on 11 October 1572, he ascended the throne. Assuming power, he broke allegiance and the outward suzerainty with the [[Mughal Empire]] which his father had established, and declared independence.<ref name=bpedia>{{cite Banglapedia|author=Ahmed, ABM Shamsuddin|article=Bayazid Karrani}}</ref> He had his name read during the [[khutbah]] in the [[Friday prayer]] and issued coins with his own name.<ref>{{cite Banglapedia|article=Karrani Rule|author=Ahmed, ABM Shamsuddin}}</ref> These actions turned the Afghan chiefs and nobles of his father, against Bayazid - making him an unpopular ruler. Bayazid attempted to banish the Afghan nobles, eventually leading to them conspiring against him.<ref>{{cite book|title=History of Bengal: Mughal Period, 1526-1765 A.D.|last=Roy|first=Atul Chandra|year=1968|publisher=Nababharat Publishers|page=21|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.532589/page/n35/mode/2up}}</ref>

==Death==
He only ruled for a few months before he was betrayed and assassinated by his cousin and sister's husband, Hansu. Hansu was later dethroned and killed by Sulaiman Khan's trusted nobles led by Wazir Ludi Khan. Bayazid's younger brother, [[Daud Khan Karrani]], eventually took the power.<ref name=bpedia />
