Lahsa Eyalet (Arabic: إيالة الأحساء; Ottoman Turkish: ایالت لحسا, romanized: Eyālet-i Laḥsā)^[1] was an eyalet of the Ottoman Empire. The territory of the former eyalet is now part of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar. Al-Ahsa and Qatif were the main cities of the eyalet, and it was named after the former.

The area was occupied by Ottoman forces in the middle of the 16th century, and it would be administered by them, with varying degrees of effectiveness, for the next 130 years.^[2]
