Aćif Hadžiahmetović (Albanian: Aqif Blyta, Serbian Cyrillic: Аћиф Хаџиахметовић or Aćif Bljuta, cyr. Аћиф Бљута; 1887 – 21 January 1945) was a politician in the Sandžak region of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in the interwar period and during World War II. In the interwar period he was mayor of Novi Pazar and a deputy of Džemijet following the 1923 elections. After the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, he was appointed mayor of Novi Pazar under the German military government of the Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia and in 1943–44 was a deputy of Mitrovica in the Albanian parliament. He was also a member of the central committee of the Second League of Prizren. Towards the end of the war, he was executed by the Yugoslav Partisans for his collaboration with the Axis.
His father Emin-aga was of Albanian origin from Đakovica (Albanian: Gjakovë), while his mother Jalduza was a local of Novi Pazar. He and his wife Mahije had no children of their own but had adopted two orphans from Đakovica, Qamil and Mejreme.
