Gallipoli Serbs (Serbian: Галипољски Срби, Галипољци, Бајрамичлије, Galipoljski Srbi, Galipoljci, Bajramičlije) were a group of Serbs that were forcefully relocated to Gallipoli by the Ottoman Empire.
With the Austro-Turkish War, a group of šumadinci from around Jagodina (present-day Central Serbia) were deported to Gallipoli sometime after 1692. In their epic stories, Jagodina is described as an ancient seat. In the beginning of the 18th century, these Gallipoli Serbs tried to flee to their hometown, but they were captured by Hadži Bešir-aga and were temporarily settled around Pirot. A part of these refugees, the Abdurahman efendija of Niš took and settled in his čiflik on the right side of the Nišava not far from the Niš fortress. From these čifliks, Jagodin Mala received its name. In the beginning of the 20th century, the Yugoslav authorities settled them in present-day Republic of Macedonia, around Pehčevo, in the houses of emigrating Turks (that had left for Turkey). Their long distance from the Serbian core has resulted in a unique dialect (Old Shtokavian), with significant influence from the adjacent Greek and Turkish dialects, as well as other cultural traits.
