Köprülü Numan (or Nuuman) Pasha (died 1719) was the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire between June and August in 1710.
He was a member of the Köprülü family.
It was recorded that Numan Pasha was bookish and pale of skin. He was also not of sound mind; his time in office was noted for an incident where he was insistent that there was always a fly landed upon his nose. He was only cured when during an examination, a French physician fed him juleps (lying that it was for medicinal purposes), and pretended to agree with him. The physician produced a knife and cut off the imaginary fly, and then showed Numan Pasha a dead one that was already hidden in his hand. [1].
