The Nusretname or Nusratnama (Ottoman Turkish: نصرت‌نامه Nuṣretnāme, "Book of victory") was an Ottoman account of the campaigns of Lala Mustafa Pasha in the Caucasus, Georgia and Shirvan in 1578–1580, at the onset of the Ottoman–Safavid War (1578–1590). The manuscript was created in 1584 by the Ottoman bureaucrat Gelibolulu Mustafa Ali (Muṣṭafa ʿĀlī, d. 1600), during the reign of Murad III.
