Mehmed Said Pasha (Ottoman Turkish: محمد سعيد پاشا‎; 1838–1914), also known as Küçük Said Pasha ("Said Pasha the Younger") or Şapur Çelebi or in his youth as Mabeyn Başkâtibi Said Bey, was an Ottoman monarchist, senator, statesman and editor of the Turkish newspaper Cerîde-i Havâdis.^[1] He served as grand vizier for nine years in total, seven times during the reign of Abdul Hamid II and twice during the Second Constitutional Monarchy. He was known for his opposition to the extension of foreign influence in the Ottoman Empire.^[1][2] He was among the statesmen who were disliked by the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP).^[3] However in his last two grand vizierships, Said Pasha was supported by the CUP in the Chamber of Deputies, and his last grand vizierate ended in 1912 with a military memorandum against the Unionists.
