Hadji Mustafa Pasha (Serbo-Croatian: Hadži Mustafa-paša, Хаџи Мустафа-паша, Turkish: Hacı Mustafa Şinikoğlu Paşa; 1733 – 27 December 1801) was an Ottoman commander and politician of Greek Muslim origin who lived in Sanjak of Smederevo (in modern-day Serbia). He fought in the Austro-Turkish War (1788–1791) and the Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774). In the period between 1793 and 1801 he was Vizier of the Sanjak of Smederevo (also known as Belgrade Pashaluk). On 15 December 1801 he was murdered by Kučuk-Alija, one of four rebel Janissary leaders (dahije) who took control over the sanjak.
