Mehmed Cavid Bey, Mehmet Cavit or Mehmed Djavid (Ottoman Turkish: محمد جاوید بك; 1875 – 26 August 1926) was a Dönme Ottoman economist, newspaper editor and leading liberal politician during the dissolution period of the Ottoman Empire. As a Young Turk and a member of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) he had positions in government after the constitution was re-established. In the beginning of the Republican period, he was controversially tried and executed for his alleged involvement in an assassination attempt against Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
