Gülbahar Hatun (c. 1432–1492) was the Empress consort of Sultan Mehmed II, and mother of Sultan Bayezid II of the Ottoman Empire.
She married Sultan Mehmed II in 1446 at Manisa.
There have been differing views of her origin. The Ottoman inscription (vakfiye) describes her as Hātun bint-i Abdullah (Daughter of Abdullah), which means that her father was a convert to Islam. She was the real biological mother of Bayezid II.
There are differing views of her issue:
According to custom, Gülbahar got the highest position as Valde Hatun in the imperial family after the sultan himself when her son, Bayezid II, ascended the throne in 1481 until her death in 1492.
In 2012 film, Fetih 1453, Gülbahar was portrayed by Şahika Koldemir.
