The Khoshut are one of the four major tribes of the Oirat people.

Originally, Khoshuuds are one of the Khorchin tribes in southeastern Mongolia, but in the mid-15th century, they migrate to western Mongolia to become an ally of the Oirats to counter central Mongolian military power.

Their ruling family, Galwas, lead the Hasarid-Khorchins, who are deported by the Western Mongols.
