Years: 1465 - 1511
Hadım Ali Pasha (died July 1511), also known as Atik Ali Pasha, is an Ottoman statesman (hadım means "eunuch" in Turkish).
He serves as governor of Rumeli, and leads the Ottoman army in the Ottoman–Mamluk War of 1485–1491, but is defeated at Adana in 1488.
He is then named Grand Vizier from 1501 to 1503, and again from 1509 to 1511.
During his latter tenure, he leads the suppression of the Alevi-led Şahkulu Rebellion, but dies in battle near Sivas along with the rebel leader Şahkulu himself.
