Baydu (juga dieja Baidu) (meninggal tahun 1295) adalah penguasa keenam Ilkhanat di Iran. Ia adalah putra dari Taraqai, yang merupakan putra kelima Hulagu Khan.[3] Ia menggantikan sepupunya Gaykhatu sebagai penguasa Ilkhanat pada tahun 1295.
Gaykhatu sebelumnya tewas dibunuh atas perintah dari Taghachar, panglima pasukan Mongol. Ia lalu mengangkat Baydu sebagai penguasa. Baydu dianggap mudah dikendalikan dan hanya menjadi penguasa boneka.[4]
Baydu sangat bersimpati dengan agama Kristen,[5] tetapi terpaksa berpura-pura Muslim.[6]
Masa kekuasaannya berakhir setelah Ghazan berperang melawannya.[3] Baydu mencoba lari ke Georgia, tetapi ia malah ditawan di dekat Nakhichevan.[3][7] Ia lalu dibawa ke Tabriz dan dihukum mati pada 5 Oktober 1295.[3]
