Amin al-Din Murjan (Arabic: أمين الدين مرجان) also known as Khwaja Murjan was a 14th-century politician who served under the Jalayirid Sultanate. He was a loyalist and former servant of Shaykh Uways Jalayir, and was later appointed as his emir to govern over Baghdad, Iraq. Murjan founded the historic Murjan Mosque and was buried in the adjoining madrasa which was attached to it, which was ultimately demolished in 1946 by the Iraqi government.
