Möxämmät-Ämin xan (Volga Türki and Persian: محمد امین خان, Russian: Мухаммед-Амин, Магмед-Аминь, etc. (c.14691518) was three times a pro-Russian khan of Kazan. During his first reign, he actively supported the policies of the grand prince of Moscow and proved himself to be "a true friend of Russia". He was also known as a poet; excerpts from his works have survived to this day. After ascending the throne for the second time, he changed his political views, emphasizing the independence of the khans. Muhammed-Amin "enjoyed the love and respect of the people"; Kazan flourished under him. Muhammed-Amin's remains were discovered in Soviet era and were buried in the Kazan Kremlin in 2016.
