Like the Qara Qoyunlu, the Aq Qoyunlu were a semi-nomadic [[Turkoman (ethnonym)|Turkoman]] confederation that rose to power after the Ilkhanate's collapse. The Aq Qoyunlu was a more long-lived and better recorded group.{{Sfn|Morgan|2013|p=101}} In the 1450s and 1460s, the Aq Qoyunlu under [[Uzun Hasan]] defeated both the Qara Qoyunlu and Timurid forces and by 1469, Uzun Hasan ruled all of Iraq and Iran.{{Sfn|Morgan|2013|p=105}}

Like the preceding Qara Qoyunlu, the Aq Qoyunlu rulers titled themselves as ''pādishāh-i Īrān'' ({{Literal translation|emperor of Iran}}) and ''kesra-yi Īrān'' ({{Literal translation|[[Caesar (title)|Caesar]] of Iran}}), among other titles.{{Sfn|May|2012|p=83}} [[Amida (Mesopotamia)|Amida]] was the original Aq Qoyunlu capital.{{Sfn|Morgan|2013|p=104}} The capital was transferred to [[Tabriz]] under Uzun Hasan.{{Sfn|Morgan|2013|p=105}}

This list only includes the Aq Qoyunlu rulers who ruled Iran.{{Sfn|Truhart|1985|p=2043}} For a full list, see the [[list of rulers of Aq Qoyunlu]].
