The Soltan Bakht Agha mausoleum(Persian: آرامگاه سلطان بخت آقا) is a historical mausoleum in Isfahan, Iran. Soltan Bakht Agha was Shah Sheykh Abu Esshaq's niece. Shah Sheykh Abu Esshaq was a handsome, good-natured but ill-fated King in the 14th century, who was contemporaneous with Hafez.

After the murder of her uncle by Mozaffarids, Soltan Bakht Agha decided to marry Mubariz al-Din Muhammad to gain an influence in the court of Mozaffarids and to cause a rift among the princes. Her brother-in-law, Jalaleddin, helped her with it. After a while Mubariz al-Din Muhammad realized his wife's intrigues and ordered to kill her. After the killing of Soltan Bakht Agha by Mubariz al-Din Muhammad, Jalaleddin captured Isfahan and ordered to build a splendid mausoleum on her tomb.[1]
