The Eyalet of Sidon (Ottoman Turkish: ایالت صیدا, romanizedEyālet-i Ṣaydā; Arabic: إيالة صيدا) was an eyalet (also known as a beylerbeylik) of the Ottoman Empire. In the 19th century, the eyalet extended from the border with Egypt to the Bay of Kisrawan, including parts of modern Israel and Lebanon.

Depending on the location of its capital, it was also known as the Eyalet of Safad, Beirut or Acre.[2]
