Kıbrıslı Mehmed Emin Paşa (Mehmed Emin Pasha the Cypriot) is an Ottoman statesman who served at the top post of grand vizier during three different times under the reign of the sultan Abdülmecid. His periods of administration were, the first time between 29 May and 23 November 1854, the second time between 18 November 1859 and 24 December 1859 and for the last time between 28 May 1860 and 6 August 1861. As such, he was also the last great vizier of Abdülmecid. He is not to be confused with a notable and contemporary namesake, Mehmed Emin Pasha, the explorer of Sudan, a German Jewish convert to Islam who had entered the service of the Ottoman Empire, or with other past notables of the same name.
