Basra Eyalet (Arabic: إيالة البصرة, Ottoman Turkish: ایالت بصره, romanized: Eyālet-i Baṣrâ)[1] was an eyalet of the Ottoman Empire.

Its reported area in the 19th century was 9,872 square miles (25,570 km2).

[2] It had a Defterdar and Kehiya of the Chavushes but neither Alai-beg nor Cheribashi because there were no ziamets or Timars, the lands being all rented by the governor.

[3] Basra had formerly a hereditary government (mulkiat), but it was reduced to an ordinary eyalet when conquered by Sultan Mehmed IV.

[3] In 1534, when the Ottomans captured Baghdad, Rashid al-Mughamis, the Bedouin emir who then controlled Basra, submitted to Ottomans.
