Ibrahim Inal (Persian ابراهيم اينال, DMG Ibrahim Inal, † 1059 ) was a Seljuk leader and the half-brother ( maternal ) of Toghril - Beg and Tschaghri - Beg. The name Inal, who finds in modern Turkic inter alia in the form Yenal use is an old Turkish ruler title which is occupied in the form Inal - Tigin since the early 10th century.

Ibrahim Inal was the leader of a Turkmen warrior band which was called by some historians Ināliyān. The gang acted independently of Toghrils and Tschaghris men. She fought against the Ghaznavids in Khorasan and conquered Merv. The other Seljuks expanded further to Western and fought against the Buyids and Kakuyiden. Ibrahim Inal conquered Yazd in 1041 and fell in Jibal, where he plundered the cities of Hamadan and Borudscherd. He also undertook campaigns on Byzantine territory. He plundered the hinterland of Trabezunt and Iberia. Erzurum - a rich and important Byzantine city - was looted and burned for the most part. An army of Byzantines, their vassals and Georgians continued Ibrahim Inal Although after, but this could decide the battle in 1047 for themselves.

When the Seljuks with Toghril and Tschaghri founded as a sultanate rulers 1040, Ibrahim Inal got a low position with which he did not want to resign. Until then, the Seljuks had always decided their decisions and policies within the ruling family. But now the Sultan alone decided what the displeasure of some nobleman provoked.

Ibrahim Inal got Yazd and Abarkuh as a fief awarded. It was not long before he rebelled with his two nephews openly against the rulers. The revolt was put down and Ibrahim Inal killed on the battlefield by strangulation with a bowstring.
