Sanjak of İpek

The Sanjak of İpek (Turkish: İpek Sancağı; Albanian: Sanxhaku i Pejës; Serbian: Пећки санџак, romanized: Pećki sandžak) or Sanjak of Dukakin (Turkish: Dukakin Sancağı; Albanian: Sanxhaku i Dukagjinit; Serbian: Дукађински санџак, romanized: Dukađinski sandžak) was a sanjak (an administrative division of the Ottoman Empire) with its capital in İpek (Peja), now in Kosovo.

In 1536 Ali-beg, then a sanjakbey of İpek, was hanged on the orders of the sultan for mistakes and incompetence in governing his sanjak.
