The Yemen Eyalet is an eyalet (province) of the Ottoman Empire.

In 1516, the Mamluks of Egypt annexed Yemen; but in the following year, the Mamluk governor surrendes to the Ottomans, and Turkish armies subsequently overruan the country.

They are challenged by the Zaidi Imam, Qasim the Great (r.1597–1620), and by 1636, the Zaydi tribesmen had driven the Ottomans out of the country completely.

In 1872, most of it becomes Yemen Vilayet after a land reform in the empire.
