Çerkes Mehmed Ali Pasha (Adyghe: Мыхьмэд-Али Пащэ; died 28 January 1625) was an Ottoman statesman who served as Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire from 1624 to 1625.[1]

Mehmed was of Circassian origins, hence his epithet. He was educated in the Enderun School in Istanbul. At one point, he served as the armorer and bodyguard (Turkish: silahdar) of the sultan. He died of illness on 28 January 1625 in Tokat.
