Fatima Khatun (Arabic: فاطمة خاتون; Persian: فاطمه خاتون; died September 1147) was a Seljuk princess, daughter of sultan Muhammad I Tapar, sister of sultan Ghiyath ad-Din Mas'ud and principal wife of Abbasid caliph al-Muqtafi.

Fatima's mother was Nistandar Jahan also known ad Sarjahan Khatun. Sultan Ghiyath ad-Din Mas'ud was her full-brother.[1] After Muhammad's death in 1118, Mengubars, the governor of Iraq, married her mother.[2][3]

Fatima married caliph al-Muqtafi[4] in March–April 1137. Her dowry was one hundred thousand dinars. The caliph's vizier, Ali ibn Tirad al-Zaynabi, acted as the representative for the acceptance of the marriage contract, while Kamal al-Din al-Darkazini served as the sultan's agent.[5] In 1140, her brother married the caliph's daughter Sayyida Zubayda.[6] According to Ibn-al Jawzi, Fatima could read and write.[7]

She died in September 1147.[8]
