Fatma Sultan (1605/1606 – after 1667) was an Ottoman princess. She is known for her many political marriages. The year of her birth has been suggested as 1605 or 1606.
Fatma Sultan was reportedly married in 1624 to Çatalcalı Hasan Pasha (d 1631).
By that time, she was in her late fifties. The Grand Vizier himself joked that he had given Melek Ahmed Pasha an elephant to feed.
On the wedding night, Fatma presented Melek Ahmed Pasha her demand of what allowance she wished for herself and her court. When she was widowed in 1662 shortly thereafter, she sealed his residence and claimed the right to his property, which caused a conflict with the Grand Vizier, who was forced to give in to her demands.
Fatma Sultan was still alive in 1667, because it is known that she was married with Közbekçi Yusuf Pasha in that year.
