A jasagh (; ; ; ), or jasagh noyan (), was the head of a Mongol banner or khoshun during the Qing dynasty and the Bogd Khanate. The position was held by hereditary succession by certain Mongol princes or Taijis, most of whom were descendants of Genghis Khan. The princes who did not serve as Jasagh were known as sula (; - lit. empty, idle) or hohi taiji ().

Ranks of jasaghs

During Qing dynasty and Bogd Khaganate, the Mongolian prince had six numbered ranks. The titles were the same as those used by members of the Manchu nobility:

• Chin Wang (, ) - Prince of the First Rank

  Beile (, ) - Prince of the Third Rank

  Beis (, ) - Prince of the Fourth Rank

  Tushiye Gong (, ) - Prince of the Fifth Rank

The Mongol noble who served as Jasagh but did not hold the prince or khan titles were called noyan taiji ().
