Ata Boyla (Chinese: 阿多裴罗; pinyin: Āduō Péiluō) — was the last known khagan of Turgesh. He was mentioned in Cefu Yuanqui[1] and New Book of Tang[2] as the khagan who sent envoys to Tang on 24 September 759. When the Turgesh state was destroyed by invading Karluks in 766, refugees mostly escaped to Yanqi.[1] Leading his Turgesh people, he submitted to Uyghur Qaghanate.
