Kaptan Pasha (Ottoman Turkish: Kapudan Pasha) or Kaptan-ı Derya (literally Captain of the Sea) were the titles given to the chief commander of the navy in the Ottoman Empire.

Starting with the reign of Mehmed II (the Conqueror), the holders of the rank were accorded the status of viziers and held the title of Pasha, thus they were more often called Kaptan Pasha.
