The Eyalet of Adrianople or Edirne[2] or Çirmen[3] (Ottoman Turkish: ایالت ادرنه; Eyālet-i Edirne)[4] was constituted from parts of the eyalets of Silistra and Rumelia in 1826.

It was one of the first Ottoman provinces to become a vilayet after an administrative reform in 1865, and by 1867 it had been reformed into the Vilayet of Adrianople.[5]
