Abdul Kerim Pasha (Turkish: Abdulkerim Paşa; born 1872 and died October 16, 1923[1]), also known as Abdulkerim Öpelimi, was an Ottoman commander on the Caucasus front of World War I. Abdul Kerim was born in the city of Selanik.

Abdul Kerim Pasha's first battle was when the Russian general Oganovski launched an offense into the hills west of Manzikert, in 1915.

However Nikolai Yudenich, replaced Oganovski, as Russian commander, and counterattacked, re-taking Manzikert.

In December 1916, he was shortly reinstated as commander of the XX Corps, which was sent to support Bulgaria and Germany on the Salonika front, but already in May 1917, the force was dismantled and recalled to Mesopotamia, where the troops were urgently needed.

Kerim died on October 16 1923 shortly after the liberation of Istanbul by the Turkish forces of Mustafa Kemal Pasha.
