Şehzade Abdullah (c. 1525 – c. 1528) was an Ottoman prince, son of Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and his favorite Hurrem Sultan. [1] [2] [3] He was born around 1525 in Eski Saray, the Ottoman Empire and died due to a disease, possibly smallpox, in Constantinople, around 1528. He was buried in the Yavuz Selim Mosque [3] [2]

Although sometimes popularly considered, current historians believe he was not Mihrimah Sultan's twin as it is likely their births happened years apart. [3]
