Mustafa Fazıl Pasha ({{Langx|ar|مصطفى بهجت علي فاضل باشا

}}; 20 February 1830 – 2 December 1875) was an Ottoman-Egyptian prince of ethnic Albanian descent belonging to the Muhammad Ali Dynasty founded by his grandfather Muhammad Ali Pasha.

Life

Prince Mustafa was born on 20 February 1830 at Cairo.{{cite web | title=MUSTAFA FÂZIL PAŞA | website=TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi | url=https://islamansiklopedisi.org.tr/mustafa-fazil-pasa | language=tr | access-date=2020-12-08}} He was the third son of Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt and his consort Ulfat Qadin (died 1865). He was educated at the Egyptian Mission School in Paris. When he was eleven years of age Mustafa was circumcised. On January 18, 1863, Prince Mustafa became the heir apparent to his brother Isma'il Pasha but on May 28, 1866, the Ottoman Sultan Abdülaziz changed the law so that the succession became by a direct male line of the reigning Khedive (viceroy) instead of passing from brother to brother. In protest of this decision, Mustafa Fazl Pasha left Egypt for Paris, where he patronized the Young Ottomans opposition against the Sultan Abdulaziz.{{cite book |title=Turkey: A Modern History |last=Zürcher |first=Erik J. |year=2004 |publisher=I.B.Tauris |isbn=1850433992 |page=69 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qaC24BFy4JQC&pg=PA69}}
