Mehmed Kemaleddin Pasha (1869 – 1920) was an Ottoman military officer and the son of field marshal Osman Nuri Pasha. He became an imperial son-in-law (damat) through his marriage to Naime Sultan, a daughter of Sultan Abdul Hamid II. Although the marriage elevated his position within the imperial hierarchy, Kemaleddin Pasha later became involved in a clandestine relationship with Princess Hatice Sultan, the eldest daughter of Sultan Murad V. Following the exposure of this affair, he was expelled from the imperial family and exiled to Bursa.
Kemaleddin Pasha was honoured by the Serbian king with the Takovo Order and was awarded the Légion d’Honneur in 1899.
