Şehzade Abdullah ( c. 1525 – c. 1528) was an Ottoman prince ( şehzade), as the son of Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and of Hurrem Sultan, [1] as Suleiman and Hurrem were in a monogamous relationship by the time of his birth. [2] [3] He was born around 1525 in Topkapi Palace, the Ottoman Empire and died due to a disease, possibly smallpox, in Constantinople, around 1528. [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]
