Suleiman Pasha Skopljak (Ottoman Turkish: سلیمان پاشا, romanized: Süleyman Paşa, Serbo-Croatian: Sulejman-paša Skopljak; fl. 1804–d. 1818) was an Ottoman Bosnian military commander and governor active in Rumelia (the Balkans), who became known for his role in fighting Serb rebels in the 1800s and 1810s. He served as the first Vizier of Belgrade (the Sanjak of Smederevo) after crushing the First Serbian Uprising (1804–1813).
