Şehzade Murad(Ottoman Turkish:شہزادہ مراد;1495Amasya–c.16 October 1519,KashanorIsfahan) was an Ottoman prince (şehzade), a son ofŞehzade Ahmedand a grandson of SultanBayezid II.He was involved in the chaos that surrounded the succession to SultanBayezid II(r. 1481–1512).

Murad's father, Ahmed, had fought against his half-brotherŞehzade Selim(later Selim I) for their father throne; during this struggle, Ahmed received support fromShahIsmail I(r. 1501–1524) of the neighboringSafavid Empire.[4]When Ahmed was put to death by the victorious Selim, Şehzade Murad was subsequently given support by Ismail I as claimant to the throne.[4]Ismail I wanted to use Murad to mobilize opposition against Selim.[4]In 1512, duringNur-Ali Khalifa's large-scale campaign inAnatolia,Murad joined his campaign, and even "girded theQizilbashcrown ".[5][6]According to information Selim received from his spies (December 1512/January 1513), Ismail I allegedly wanted to conquer Anatolia, give the Rumbeylerbeylikto Murad, while the rest of the territory would be ruled by the Qizilbash.[5]Anyhow, when the Safavid support meant for Murad failed to materialize, the scheme was abandoned, and Murad migrated to the Safavid Empire where he was given asylum. He died at Kashan on 16 October 1519, because natural causes.[4]or Isfahan.[7]

Ismail I's support to these rivals of Selim I formed one of the maincasus bellithat led to the decisiveBattle of Chaldiran(1514).[4]
