Töre (Kazakh: Төре, romanized: Töre, تورە) is a Kazakh dynasty and later a clan of the descendants of Genghis Khan. The dynasty constituted the upper class of the aristocratic elite that ruled in the Kazakh Khanate. They were also called "Aqsüiek" and "Sūltan töre". Only Töre were eligible to claim the Kazakh Khan title. The first Kazakh Khans from the Töre dynasty were Kerei Khan and Janibek Khan.
Qūn (Kazakh: Құн, romanized: Qūn — payment for killing) for killing Töre was seven times higher than for a commoner.
