Köprülü Abdullah Pasha (Template:Lang-sq; died 1735) was an Ottoman general of the first half of the 18th century and one of the commanders during the Ottoman-Persian Wars of 1722–27 and 1730–35.
He was a member of the renowned Köprülü family, originated from Albania, that had produced three Grand Viziers of the Ottoman Empire (four counting Kara Mustafa Pasha, who was an adopted son). After serving as nişancı circa 1702, Köprülü rose through the ranks of the Ottoman army to the rank of General during the reign of Sultan Ahmed III. In 1716, he was the first appointment at the rank of Pasha (though not yet at that of a governor), to the hitherto small but fastly growing international trade town of İzmir.
From around 1703 to 1724, Köprülü was appointed to a series of provincial governorships, serving as the governor of the Sanjak of Chania (1702/03 – 1705/06, 1710–12), the Sanjak of Sakız (1705/06 – June 1707), the Sanjak of Sivas (June 1707 – 1709), the Trebizond Eyalet (1709–10), the Sanjak of Eğriboz (1710), the Mosul Eyalet (1712–15), the Aidin Eyalet (1715–16), the Sanjak of Jerusalem (1716), the Sanjak of Hamid (1716), the Damascus Eyalet (1717–18), the Diyarbekir Eyalet (1718 – January 1720), the Eyalet of Erzurum (January 1720 – August 1723), the Sanjak of Van (1723 – 1724/25), and the Van Eyalet (1724/25 – 1726/27).
While he was stationed in Van, Köprülü was the commander of the Ottoman forces during parts of the campaigns of the ongoing Ottoman-Persian War of 1722–27. In 1724, the Safavid Shah Tahmasp II of Iran had concluded an agreement with the Russians and recognized Russian influence in Transcaucasia and the Caspian Sea. Since this was against Ottoman interests in the region, an army under Köprülü was dispatched and had easily taken Nahçıvan, Merend, Ardabil, Tabriz, and Karabagh. Köprülü became the governor of the new (but short-lived) eyalet of Tabriz in 1724/25.
After the war, Köprülü resumed his series of provincial governorship appointments, serving as the governor of the Sidon Eyalet (1726/27 – August 1728), the Sanjak of Candia (August 1728 – July 1729; July 1731 – September 1732), the Egypt Eyalet (July 1729 – July 1731), the Sanjak of Bender (September 1732 – 1733), and the Sanjak of Konya (1733 – 1734/35).
Köprülü Abdullah Pasha met the Persian general Nadir Shah (soon the Shah of Persia) in the Battle of Baghavand in 1735, part of the renewed Ottoma-Persian War of 1730–35). Ordering his forces to entrench in preparation for the advancing Persian army, he managed to avoid an open battle against Nadir. However, recognizing a weakness in the Persian lines, Köprülü launched a successful attack against the Persian forces. Despite initial success, Köprülü's army was defeated in a carefully planned counterattack and Köprülü himself was killed in battle (near present day Kars).
