Düzdidil Kadın (Ottoman Turkish: دزددل قادین; c. 1825– 18 August 1845) was the principal consort of Sultan Abdülmecid I of the Ottoman Empire.
Born as Ayşe Dişan, Düzdidil Kadın was an Ubykh. Her father was Şıhım Bey Dişan and her mother was an Abkhazian princess belonging to Shervashidze. At the age of six, Ayşe came to Istanbul along with her wet nurse Emine Hanım. Yahya Bey presented Ayşe and Emine Hanım in the royal harem. She was renamed Düzdidil and was given private education and lessons of piano in the harem department of the Topkapı Palace. She married Abdülmecid in 1839. She had fallen victim to the epidemic of tuberculosis then raging in Istanbul. A luxuriously decorated prayer book was commissioned around 1844 for her. As was fitting for her position, the prayer book is lavishly ornate. It contains 33 surahs of the Qur'an, 80 prayers of request and praise, and 61 miniatures. The rococo style of the manuscript corresponds to contemporary Ottoman taste. An artist named Hüseyin created the emotive illustrations in the appendix, which feature views of the holy places in Mecca and Medina as well as the relics of the Prophet kept in the Topkapı Palace.
She died on 18 August 1845 and was buried in the Mausoleum of the imperial ladies at the Yeni Mosque Istanbul. Cemile Sultan was only two years old when Düzdidil died. Cemile was adopted by another of Sultan Abdülmecid's wives, Perestu Kadın, who was also the adoptive mother one of her half brothers, the last Ottoman Sultan, Abdul Hamid II.
Düzdidil and Abdülmecid had four children:
