Nefise Melek Sultan Hatun (Ottoman Turkish: نفیسہ خاتون; lit. ' precious ' and 'angel'; c. 1363 - post 1403) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Murad I. She was the wife of Alaeddin Ali Bey of Karaman and mother of Mehmed II of Karaman and Alaeddin Ali II of Karaman. She is known as the first politically active Ottoman princess.
Her mother was Theodora Asanina of the Asen family, a family which had once ruled Bulgaria. Famous for her beauty, Sultan Mehmed II, who had conquered Constantinople in 1453, took her into his harem after his conquest of the Morea in 1460, but soon decided to leave her in province, possibly due to fear of being poisoned by her.
