Yujiulü Tiefa (
Chinese: 郁久閭鐵伐;
pinyin: Yùjiǔlǘ Tiěfá, r. 552–553[1]) was the successor to
Yujiulü Anagui in the eastern part of
Rouran. He was proclaimed
khagan by remnants of Rouran in 552.[2] But he ruled only briefly until his death at the hands of
Khitans in February 553. He was succeeded by his father Yujiulü Dengzhu, who at first fled to
Northern Qi following demise of
Yujiulü Anagui. This was only case in Rouran history that a father succeeded his son on the throne.[3]
