Basra Eyalet (Arabic: إيالة البصرة, Ottoman Turkish: ایالت بصره, romanized: Eyālet-i Baṣrâ) was an eyalet of the Ottoman Empire. Its reported area in the 19th century was 9,872 square miles (25,570 km2). It had a Defterdar and Kehiya of the Chavushes but neither Alai-beg nor Cheribashi because there were no ziamets or Timars, the lands being all rented by the governor.
