Habesh Eyalet (Arabic: إيالة الحبشة; Ottoman Turkish: ایالت حبش, romanized: Eyālet-i Ḥabeş)^[3] was an Ottoman eyalet. It was also known as the Eyalet of Jeddah and Habesh, as Jeddah was its chief town,^[4] and Habesh and Hejaz.^[5] It extended on the areas of coastal Hejaz and Northeast Africa that border the Red Sea basin.^[4] On the Northeast Africa littoral, the eyalet comprised Suakin and their hinterlands.

Like Ottoman control in North Africa, Yemen, Bahrain, and Lahsa, the Ottomans had no "effective, long term control" outside of the ports where there was a direct Ottoman presence.^[6]^{[dubious – discuss]}
