Şehzade Abdullah (c. 1523–1526) was an Ottoman prince (şehzade), as the son of Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.[citation needed] He is generally understood to be the son of Hurrem Sultan,[1] as Suleiman and Hurrem were in a monogamous relationship by the time of his birth.[2][3] He was born in either 1523 or 1526 in Topkapi Palace, the Ottoman Empire and died due to a disease, possibly smallpox, in Istanbul.[3] His date of death is not recorded, however he is believed by historians to have died while still a toddler.[2]

Although sometimes popularly considered, current historians believe he was not the twin of Mihrimah Sultan's twin as it is likely their births happened years apart.
