The Sanjak of Herzegovina (Turkish: Hersek Sancağı; Serbo-Croatian: Hercegovački sandžak) was an Ottoman administrative unit established in 1470. The seat was in Foča until 1572 when it was moved to Taşlıca (Pljevlja). The sanjak was initially part of the Eyalet of Rumelia [citation needed] but was administrated into the Eyalet of Bosnia [citation needed] following its establishment in 1580.
