Sultan Mehmed Murad V (September 21, 1840 – August 29, 1904) (Arabic: مراد الخامس) was the 33rd sultan of the Ottoman Empire who reigned from May 30, 1876 to August 31 of the same year.
Son of Abdülmecid, he was placed in power after his uncle Abdülaziz was deposed. He was highly influenced by French culture. He reigned for 93 days before also being deposed, due to mental illness, and was succeeded by his brother Abdülhamid II. He failed to deliver the Constitution that his supporters had sought, and under his reign the country moved closer to the disastrous Russo–Turkish War, 1877–8 against Alexander II of Russia.
