Aisha Sultan Begum was Queen consort of Ferghana Valley and Samarkand as the first wife of Emperor Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire and the first Mughal emperor.

Aisha was a first cousin of her husband and was a Timurid princess by birth. She was the daughter of Babur's paternal uncle, Sultan Ahmed Mirza, the King of Samarkand and Bukhara.

Aisha Sultan Begum was born a Timurid princess and was the third daughter of Sultan Ahmed Mirza (the King of Samarkand and Bukhara) and his wife Qutaq Begum. She was probably named 'Aisha' after Prophet Muhammad's wife, ‘Ā’ishah bint Abī Bakr.

Her father, Sultan Ahmed Mirza, was the eldest son and successor of Abu Sa'id Mirza, the Emperor of the Timurid Empire. Aisha's paternal uncles included Umar Sheikh Mirza, the ruler of Ferghana Valley, who later became her father-in-law as well. His children, Babur (her future husband), and his elder sister, Khanzada Begum, were thus, Aisha's first cousins.

In her infancy, Aisha was betrothed to her first cousin, Babur in 1488 in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, when Babur himself was only five years old. He was the eldest son of her paternal uncle, Umar Sheikh Mirza and her aunt, Qutlugh Nigar Khanum. Aisha married Babur eleven years later in August 1499 at Khojand and subsequently joined him in Ferghana, where Babur had succeeded his father as King of Ferghana Valley after his death. The young queen found her husband a bashful lover. Babur remained very shy of her in the beginning of their marriage and went to see her only once in ten or fifteen days. When even his first inclination did not last, his bashfulness increased.
