Baturu (Manchu language: baturu; ) was an official title of China's Qing dynasty, awarded to commanders and soldiers who fought bravely on the battlefield. In Manchu, baturu means "warrior" or "brave." It is originally from the Mongolian word baghatur, which has the same meaning.
At the beginning of the Qing dynasty, only Manchu people and Mongol soldiers were permitted to receive the title. During the reign of the Jiaqing Emperor, Han Chinese soldiers started to receive the title. Beginning in the reign of the Xianfeng Emperor, civilians and foreigners were permitted to receive the title as well.
