Kam Bakhsh (1667-1709) was a Mughal prince, the youngest son of Emperor Aurangzeb. Born as Muhammad Kam Bakhsh, he was the emperor's favorite son and received considerable attention from his father. However, his life was marked by tragic circumstances.

During the War of Succession following Aurangzeb's death in 1707, Kam Bakhsh rebelled against his brother Shah Alam Bahadur's rule and declared himself Emperor at Bijapur. He was soundly defeated by Shah Alam's forces in a battle on the outskirts of Hyderabad.
