Hadım Ali Pasha (Turkish: Hadım Ali Paşa; died July 1511), also known as Atik Ali Pasha (Turkish: Atik Ali Paşa), was an Ottoman statesman and eunuch[1] (hadım means "eunuch" in Turkish) of Bosnian origin. He served as governor of Rumeli, and led the Ottoman army in the Ottoman–Mamluk War of 1485–1491, but was defeated at Adana in 1488. He was then named Grand Vizier from 1501 to 1503, and again from 1509 to 1511. During his latter tenure, he led the suppression of the Alevi-led Şahkulu Rebellion, but died in battle near Sivas along with the rebel leader Şahkulu himself.
He was from Drozgometva village in what is now Bosnia and Herzegovina.[2]
