Hafsa (Hâfize) Khātun (fully Devletlu İsmetlu Hafsa (Hâfize) Hatun Hazretleri, Ottoman Turkish: حفصہ خاتون‎, born before 1380 - died after 1403) (Hafsa, Hâfize meaning "one who has memorized the Qur'an") was the wife of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I of the Ottoman Empire.

Hafsa Hatun was born as the daughter of Fahreddin İsa Bey, the last bey (prince) of Aydinids. She was married to Bayezid I in 1390 upon his conquest of Aydinids. Her public works are located within her father's territory and may have been built before she married Bayezid I upon his conquest of Aydin in 1390. She was one of the two royal Muslim wives of the sultans (as the other being Sitti Mükrime Hatun) appear to have left buildings, and even these may not as Ottoman public structures. The wives of the sultans are notably absent as builders and endowers of such public monuments or institutions. She bore no children to Bayezid.

She built a fountain in Tire city and a Hermitage in Bademiye, and a mosque known as "Hafsa Hatun Mosque".

The hafsa Hatun Mosque was commissioned by Hafsa Hatun. It was built between the years 1390-1392 from the money she received in her dowry. The mosque has lodges, soup kitchens, fountains, baths. The main structure of the mosque has been completely destroyed only the minaret of the mosque stands. But it is also in danger to collapse. The mosque is located in the south-east of the baths and the majority are under the ground.
