For places in Iran, see Moghan (disambiguation).

Maghan I (1280s – 1341), also known as Magha or, in oral traditions, Maghan Soma Burema Kein[1] was the tenth mansa of the Mali Empire, following his father Kankan Musa I's death in 1337. He was left in charge of the empire, at least nominally, during his father's absence for his famous hajj. He reigned in his own right for only four years before being succeeded by his uncle Suleyman in 1341.[2]
