Ahmet Mithat (c. 1844 – 28 December 1912) was an Ottoman journalist, author, translator and publisher during the Tanzimat period.

In his works, he was known as Ahmet Mithat Efendi, to distinguish him from the contemporary politician Midhat Pasha.

From 1878 he published a newspaper entitled Tercüman-ı Hakikat (Interpreter of Truth).
