thumb|200px|Dominion of Bahri Mamluks ( red ) Lajin (), full royal name al-Malik al-Mansur Hussam al-Din Lajin al-Mansuri (; d. January 16, 1299, Cairo) was a Mamluk sultan of Egypt from 1296 to 1299.

==Early career== Lajin was initially a mamluk of Al-Mansur Ali, then he was bought by Al-Mansur Qalawun, whom had him to marry his daughter. He was imprisoned by Sunqur al-Ashqar in Damascus, then he became the Mamluk na'ib of Damascus in 1280, when Sunqur was defeated. He was later sacked by Sultan Al-Ashraf Khalil and sentenced to death, but emir Badr ad-Din Bidra Al-Mansuri sought mercy for him.
