Topal Recep Pasha (Bosnian: Topal Redžep-paša, "Recep Pasha "Lame"; died 18 May 1632) was an Ottoman statesman from the Sanjak of Bosnia,[1] as well as Damat ("bridegroom") to the House of Osman as husband of Gevherhan Sultan, daughter of Sultan Ahmed I. He served as the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire from 10 February 1632 to 18 May 1632.[2] He was instrumental in lynching the former grand vizier, Hafiz Ahmed Pasha. When his brother-in-law Sultan Murad IV realized this, he had Recep Pasha executed on 18 May 1632 in Constantinople.[3] He was of Bosnian origin.[4]
