Jaichand was the name of the last ruler of Kannauj belonging to the short-lived Gahadvala dynasty.

Jaichand was the father of Samyukta, whose elopement with Prithviraj Chauhan is a famous episode detailed in the Prithviraj Raso. Jaichand is also notorious for having sided with Muhammad Ghori against his son-in-law Prithviraj at the First Battle of Tarain (1191). However, Jaichand was killed by Ghori in the battle of Chandwar (1194 A.D.)
