Shaykhi (Persian: شیخی, Shaykhi), also Ustad Shaikhi Naqqash or Shaykhi (al-Yaʿqubi) ("Shaykhi of Yaqub"), was a painter of the late 15th century, active in Tabriz at the court of the Aq Qoyunlu ruler Yaqub Beg.
Shaykhi was initially recruited with Darvish Muhammad by the Aq Qoyunlu ruler Sultan Khalil, in order to create miniatures for the Khamsa of Nizami (Tabriz, 1481). Sultan Khalil took the manuscript to the capital Tabriz when he inherited the throne in 1478, but he soon died the same year, assassinated by his brother Yaqub, as the manuscript was still unfinished.
