Ayşe Sultan (

Ottoman Turkish: عائشه سلطان) was an Ottoman princess, the daughter of Sultan Bayezid II
.

Ayşe married Guveyi Sinan Pasha, probably when her father was still a prince and the governor of Amasya. During Bayezid's reign, he was appointed the beylerbeyi (governor) of Anatolia. Ayşe followed him during his career in Anatolia, Gelibolu, and Rumelia.[3] The two together had one son, Ahmed Bey, [4] and three daughters, Gevherşah Sultan,[5] Kamerşah Sultan,[6] and Mihrimah Sultan.[7]

She had spent public money, while her husband, Sinan Pasha, was at war. In a letter written to her father, she complained of lack of money. However, she later had to justify herself in the eyes of her father.[8] After she was widowed in 1504, she returned to the capital, and her father, and later her half-brother Sultan Selim I, granted her an allowance.[1][2]

In her lifetime she built a mosque in Edirne, a mescid and a school in Gelibolu to which she bequeathed her property.[9] Sinan, her husband, received from her father villages in nahiye Üsküdar as a mülk. Consequently Sinan donated them to the mosque and kervansaray he constructed. The pasha established also a waqf at a zaviye in Gelibolu to which he bequeathed mülk villages purchased from Ayşe.[9]
