Mehemet Ali, Pasha (1827 – 7 September 1878) was a German-born Ottoman soldier.

Mehemet Ali was born in Brandenburg an der Havel, Prussia, as Ludwig Karl Friedrich Detroit (also known as Carl Detroy), but left home when young, traveled to the Ottoman Empire and embraced Islam. There, in 1846, Aali Pasha, later Grand Vizier, sent him to a military school. He received a commission in the Ottoman army in 1853 and fought against Russia in the Crimean War. He was made a brigadier general and Pasha in 1865.

In the 1877-1878 war against Russia, Mehemet Ali led the Turkish army in Bulgaria, before being superseded by Suleiman Pasha. Later in 1878 he was a participant at the Congress of Berlin. After being sent to Albania, he was killed by insurgents in Đakovica, Kosovo.
