Rustam Beg Bayandur (Azerbaijani and Persian: رستم بیگ بایندر) was an Aq Qoyunlu prince, and one of the contesters in 1492–1497 during the dynastic struggle that had erupted following the death of Ya'qub Beg (r. 1478–1490). He was a grandson of Uzun Hasan, and son of Maqsud. He was deposed by his cousin Ahmad Beg.[1]
Contributions to religious architecture continued under the descendants of Uzun Hasan, as for the Kushk Gate in Isfahan, commissioned under Rustam Beg.[2]

A rather lofty portal now spanning a busy street west of the Chahar Bagh once bore a revetment of mosaic faience that was recently remounted in the garden of the Chehil Sutun Museum in Isfahan. According to the inscription, the portal led into a zaviyah, which probably included a prayer hall and mausoleum. The horizontal inscription band names the founder Zayn al-Dawlah va'l-Sa'adah va'l-Din 'Ali Beg Borna, who established the zaviyah at the tomb of his father, which was crowned by a dome, in the year 902/1496-97. It also names the Aq Qoyunlu Rustam, son of Uzun Hasan, as the ruling sovereign (1493-1496). At the end of the inscription following the date in numerals is the signature of the scribe. Mu'in (al-munshi); Godard read "Mu'i/z al-munshi." The semidome is filled with muqarnas. Panels of mosaic faience are displayed on the side walls of the bay. The wings of the facade have geometric patterns executed in glazed and unglazed terra cotta
