塞尔柱王朝(波斯语: آل سلجوق,Al-e Saljuq)是中世纪时期由乌古斯突厥人建立起的逊尼派穆斯林王朝[1][2][3],后期王朝成员逐渐波斯化,为中世纪时期西亚及中亚地区突厥-波斯文化的发展打下了基础[4][5]。塞尔柱王朝曾建立大塞尔柱帝国以及罗姆苏丹国,统治区域东起波斯、西达安纳托利亚高原,王朝的扩张使安纳托利亚、高加索等地突厥化,也间接地引发了第一次十字军东征。

塞尔柱人源自于突厥乌古斯人分支[6][7][8][9],他们在9世纪生活于穆斯林世界边缘,包含中亚的里海北部和咸海、哈萨克草原、突厥斯坦阿姆河畔等地。他们骑术精湛,周边势力常来此招募佣兵。波斯散文家贾希兹形容他们:
“

(突厥人)对手工艺或商业、医学、几何学、水果种植、建筑、开凿运河或税务不感兴趣,只喜欢劫掠、打猎、骑术、与敌对部族打小仗、掠夺战利品、入侵其他国家。[10]

10世纪中期,由于加兹尼王国雇佣他们担任河中地区的警备,乌古斯人开始与周边穆斯林城市密切往来。
10世纪末,塞尔柱人的领袖塞尔柱·贝格与乌古斯人头目叶护反目后,他率领部族移居于下锡尔河西岸(Jaxartes)。公元985年左右,塞尔柱人皈依了伊斯兰教[11]。
1025年,图格鲁勒·贝格,恰格勒·贝格兄弟和叔叔穆萨·优素福(Musa Yabghu)等人率领塞尔柱部族南迁进入波斯呼罗珊省,协助喀喇汗国的王族阿里特勤对抗加兹尼王族穆哈马德的攻击,1029年,贝格兄弟与阿里特勤发生争执,同盟关系紧张,不过加兹尼此时也陷入内战,是故战端稍歇。
1030年,穆哈马德的双胞胎兄长马苏德一世结束内战成为新苏丹,他继承了弟弟及父亲马哈茂德攻略河中地区的方针向北方施压。1032年,达布西耶之战爆发,贝格兄弟再次出兵协助阿里特勤,在喀喇汗军与加兹尼军互有损失的状况下,两军协议各自退兵回国。
1035年,沙赫·马立克在花剌子模击败贝格兄弟,南逃的兄弟向旧敌马苏德一世求援,马苏德一世断然拒绝并派遣贝脱迪前去消灭对方,结果加兹尼军大败指挥官被俘,马苏德一世不得不割让拿沙(Nasa)、法拉瓦(Farava)、大益等地给塞尔柱人。
1037年,图格鲁勒自封为苏丹,并于隔年攻下加兹尼首都尼沙普尔。[12][10]
1040年,冲突再次发生,塞尔柱人在丹丹纳干战役重创加兹尼军队[13],稍后,大塞尔柱帝国建立。帝国各地的原住民在接下来的几十年中受到波斯文化影响,在宗教、语言以及风俗上被强制同化。[14][15][16][17][18]。

On the contrary, it was they who voluntarily became Persians and who, in the manner of the great old Sassanid kings, strove to protect the Iranian populations from the plundering of Ghuzz bands and save Iranian culture from the Turkoman menace."
