{{Short description|Ottoman administrative district (1516–1917)}}
The Sanjak of Jerusalem ({{langx|ota|سنجاق قدس|Sancâk-ı Kudüs}}; {{langx|ar|سنجق القدس|Sanjaq al-Quds}}) was an Ottoman sanjak that formed part of the Damascus Eyalet for much of its existence.Abu-Manneh (1999), pp. [https://books.google.com/books?id=YR8M9DehvMEC&pg=PA36 36]-37. It was created in the 16th century by the Ottoman Empire following the 1516–1517 Ottoman–Mamluk War.Beshara (2012), pp. [https://books.google.com/books?id=nr9Ivt-pc0IC&pg=PA22 22]. It was detached from the Syrian eyalet and placed directly under the Ottoman central government, first for a brief period in 1841, and again in 1854.Abu-Manneh (1999), p. [https://books.google.com/books?id=YR8M9DehvMEC&pg=PA38 38]. An independent province, the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem, was created in 1872.Abu-Manneh (1999), p. [https://books.google.com/books?id=YR8M9DehvMEC&pg=PA39 39]. It ceased to exist in 1917 during the Great War as a result of British progress on the Middle Eastern front,Powles & Wilkie (1922), pp.[http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-WH1-Sina-t1-body-d6.html 167-168]. when it became a British-administered occupied territory.Macmunn & Falls, p.
