Koca Hüsrev Mehmed Pasha

Ottoman Grand Vizier
Years: 1769 - 1855

Mehmed Hüsrev Pasha (also known as Koca Hüsrev Pasha; sometimes known in Western sources as just Husrev Pasha or Khosrew Pasha; 1769–1855) is an Ottoman Kapudan Pasha ("Grand Admiral") of the Ottoman Navy and statesman who reaches the position of Grand Vizier rather late in his career, between July 2, 1839, and June 8, 1840, in the reign of Abdülmecid I.

However, during the 1820s, he occupies key administrative roles in the fight against regional warlords, the reformation of the army, and the reformation of Turkish attire.
