Kargišan (; ?–1757) was a Manchu official of the Qing dynasty. He belonged to the Irgen Gioro clan of the Plain Yellow Banner. He rose to the position of Governor-General of Fujian and Zhejiang (閩浙總督).
Biography Kargišan was a clansman of Grand Secretary Isangga. His great-great-grandfather Hecen (赫臣) was the chieftain of the clan from Warka at the time and joined Jianzhou Jurchen leader Nurhaci's tribe. Hecen was later sent as an envoy to the Yehe confederacy, where he was ordered execution by its ruler Gintaisi. After Nurhaci destroyed Yehe, he ordered Kargišan's great-grandfather — Hecen's son Keifu — to personally execute his father's killer. Keifu followed Nurhaci in numerous campaigns and rendered meritorious service, rising to the hereditary rank of Third-class Light Chariot Commandant(輕車都尉). Kargišan's grandfather Kacilan (喀齊蘭) served as Vice Commander-in-Chief of the Plain Yellow Banner; his father Kailibu (凱里布) served as Minister of Personnel and inherited the hereditary rank.Draft History of Qing Volume 309：「先世居瓦爾喀，有赫臣者，當太祖創業時來歸，授牛錄額真。使葉赫，葉赫部長金台石使人戕之。太祖滅葉赫，令其子克宜福手刃其仇以祭。克宜福從軍有功，世職至三等阿達哈哈番。克宜福子喀齊蘭，官至正黃旗副都統；孫凱里布，官至吏部尚書：皆襲世職。」
Kargišan inherited the hereditary rank (騎都尉) and the position of hereditary niru (company) commander (世管佐領) in his early age. He subsequently served as a vice director in the Imperial Stables (上駟院員外郎), Director in the Ministry of Works (工部郎中), and Vice Minister of War. In 1735, he was dismissed for submitting a false report on horse inspection and was sent to Mukden to handle grain storage duties. In 1736, he was reinstated and tasked with managing the Banners troops at the Summer Palace(圓明園). In 1738, he was appointed Academician of the Grand Secretariat and Vice Minister of Revenue, and later transferred to Vice Minister of Personnel.Draft History of Qing Volume 309：「喀爾吉善降襲拜他喇布勒哈番，授上駟院員外郎。歷工部郎中，兼襲世管佐領。雍正六年，命偕通政使留保如廣東按署巡撫阿克敦等被劾狀。八年，擢兵部額外侍郎。九年，授侍郎。十三年，以驗馬不實奪官，令往盛京收糧。乾隆元年，起廢籍，命管圓明園八旗兵丁。復往盛京收糧，奏禁八旗臺站官兵與朝鮮貿易。上諭曰：「官兵不暇貿易，亦不諳貿易。當令商民與互市，務均平交易，毋抑價，毋強索。」三年，擢內閣學士。遷戶部侍郎，協理步軍統領刑名事務。調吏部，四年，命兼管三庫。」
In 1740, he was appointed Governor of Shanxi. The Qianlong Emperor, having heard reports of corruption by Shanxi Provincial Administration Commissioner Sahaliyan (薩哈諒) and Education Commissioner Harcin (哈爾欽), consulted Kargišan. Kargišan promptly memorialized impeaching them. The emperor ordered Vice Minister Yang Sijing (楊嗣璟) to jointly investigate. However, the emperor faulted Kargišan for knowing of the misconduct without immediately impeaching, charging him with negligence and dismissing him temporarily before reinstatement. In 1742, he was transferred to Governor of Anhui, and the following year to Governor of Shandong.Draft History of Qing Volume 309：「五年，授山西巡撫。上聞山西布政使薩哈諒、學政哈爾欽皆貪婪，詢喀爾吉善。 喀爾吉善疏劾，命侍郎楊嗣璟會鞫，論如律。上以喀爾吉善不即劾，下部議，奪官，命寬之。又劾河東鹽政白起圖貪婪，白起圖疏辨，命副都統塞楞額往鞫，論如律。七年，調安徽。八年，復調山東。」 During his tenure, he repeatedly petitioned for disaster relief and reorganized mining operations in Shandong. In 1746, he was promoted to Governor-General of Fujian and Zhejiang and ordered to deploy troops to suppress a rebellion in Taiwan. He was later granted the honorary title of Minister of War.Draft History of Qing Volume 309：「十一年，遷閩浙總督。臺灣生番為亂，遣兵討之。奏言：「臺灣流民日多，匪類肆竊，甚或恣行不法，民間謂為闖棍。請令竊案再犯及闖棍治罪後，並逐回內地。」又請在臺人民迎取眷屬，限一年給照過臺。浙江處州總兵苗國琮請於官山種樹，儲戰船桅木之用，下 喀爾吉善 勘奏。奏言：「令有司種樹，須先糜帑，且必百十年後始中繩墨，日久稽察非易。不若許民自種，在官不費經營，而巨材可獲實用。」從之。疏劾浙江巡撫常安貪婪，命大學士訥親往鞫得實，論如律。詔嘉其公直，加太子少保。疏言：「寧海東湖舊與海通，宋後失修，飭府縣察形勢土性，導士民輸資築隄，撥為世業，定限升科。」上諭曰：「勸課農桑，興修水利，務本之圖也。欣悅覽之！」十五年，加兵部尚書銜。」 In 1752, he requested retirement due to old age, but the Qianlong Emperor persuaded him to stay. He died in 1757 and received the posthumous name Zhuangke (莊恪, Dignified and Reverent).Draft History of Qing Volume 309：「十七年，以年老乞休，溫詔慰留... 十九年，加太子太保... 二十二年秋，病瘍，遣醫偕其子定敏馳視，賜人葠。未幾，卒，賜祭葬，諡莊恪。」
His eldest son Dingchang (定長) also rose to the rank of Governor-General. His grandson Oyombu served as Governor of Guizhou and as Minister in Charge of Yarkant Affairs, among other positions.
