Ekinchi ibn Qochar (died 1097) was the
Seljuk governor of
Khwarazm briefly in 1097, bearing the traditional title of
Khwarazmshah. Unlike the Khwarazmshahs that succeeded him, he was not a descendant of
Anushtegin Gharchai.
Following the death of Anushtegin, Ekinchi was given the position of Khwarazmshah by the Seljuk sultan
Berkyaruq. After a short period of time, however, he was killed by several
Seljuk amirs that had risen in revolt. After he died, he was replaced with Anushtegin's son,
Qutb al-Din Muhammad.
Ekinchi literally means "farmer" or "ploughman" in
Turkic languages.
