Elihan Tore Saghuni (21 March 1884 – 28 February 1976) was an Uzbek political and religious leader who served as the president of the Second East Turkestan Republic (1944–1946). He was born in Tokmok, in present-day Kyrgyzstan, and moved to Kashgar, Xinjiang, in 1920. In April 1944, Elihan and eleven other Turkic leaders formed the East Turkestan Liberation Organization in Ghulja (Yining) to end Chinese Nationalist rule and establish an independent East Turkestan. On 11 November 1944, they launched the Ili Rebellion with the support of the Soviet Union.
