Fakhr-e Jahan Khanom (1789-1856; فخر جهان خانم) was the sixth daughter of Fath-ʿAli Shah (r.1797-1834). She is particularly well-known for having been a skilled artist and calligrapher. She was skilled in the art of 'finger-nail calligraphy' (khatt-e nakhoni) and several works signed by her are known today.
She was the full sister of Fath-Allah Mirza, also known as Shoa' al-Saltaneh, Vaaliyeh Khanom, and Tajli Begom Khanom. At a young age, she was married to her paternal cousin Mohammad Khan Qajar Qovanlou, son of Hossein Qoli Khan Qajar Qovanlu. The pair would go on to divorce shortly after their marriage, and Fakhr-e Jahan would have no children.
