Yedikuleli Seyyid Abdullah Efendi (Ottoman Turkish: يدى قللى سيد ابدالله Modern Turkish: Yedikuleli Seyyid Abdullah Efendi) (d. 1731) was an Ottoman calligrapher.

As a court calligrapher he taught as a student Egrikapili Mehmed Rasim Efendi. Sultan Ahmed III at one point was so intrigued by the ink that Seyyid used in his calligraphy, that he sent a messenger to learn the secret. Seyyid sent back a full inkwell with the messenger. When the Sultan received the gift, he reportedly emptied the ink, refilled the inkwell with gold, and sent it back.[1]
