Çerkes Mehmed Ali Pasha (died 28 January 1625) was an Ottoman statesman who served as Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire from 1624 to 1625.[1]
Mehmed was of Circassian origins, hence his epithet. He was educated in the Enderun School in Istanbul. At one point, he served as the armorer and bodyguard (Turkish: silahdar) of the sultan. He died of illness on 28 January 1625 in Tokat. He was married to Mihrimah Sultan, daughter of Murad III while he was governor of Damascus in 1618.
