Şirvânîzâde Ahmed Hulûsî Efendi (c. 1833 – 17 January 1889) was an Ottoman Islamic scholar (ʿālim), jurist, judge, and diplomat. He is notable for two landmark achievements: his membership on the elite commission that drafted the Mecelle (Mecelle-i Ahkâm-ı Adliyye), the most renowned codification of Islamic law in modern history, and his appointment as the first official Ottoman envoy to Afghanistan in 1877–1878.
