The Sanjak of Ioannina (variously also Janina or Yanina, Turkish: Yanya Sancağı) was one of the sanjaks of the Ottoman Empire whose capital was Ioannina in Epirus.
Sanjak of Ioannina consisted of the following kazas: Janina central kaza, Aydonat (modern-day Paramythia in Greece), Filat (modern-day Filiates in Greece), Megva (modern-day Metsovo), Leshovik (modern-day Leskovik in Albania), Konice (modern-day Konitsa), Pogon (modern-day Pogon/Pogoni on the present Greek-Albanian border), Permedi (modern-day Përmet in Albania).
In period 1430—1670 the sanjak of Janina was part of Rumelia Eyalet. In period 1670–1787 the Sanjak of Ioannina was part of the Ioannina Eyalet. In 1788 Ali Pasha gained control of the Sanjak of Ioannina and merged it with Sanjak of Trikala into Pashalik of Yanina. Ali Pasha was killed in 1822. In 1834 Mahmood Hamdi pasha was appointed to govern the Sanjak of Delvina, Ioannina and Avlona. In 1867 the Sanjak of Ioannina was merged with Berat, Gjirokastër, Preveza and Kastoria into Janina Vilayet. Kesriye was later demoted to kaza and bounded to Monastir Vilayet.
