Şehzade Yusuf Izzeddin (Ottoman Turkish: شہزارہ یوسف عزالدین; 29 September 1857 - 1 February 1916) was an Ottoman prince, the son of Sultan Abdülaziz and his wife Empress Dürrünev Kadın.
Prince Yusuf lived in obscurity from the time of his father's death in 1876 until the dethronement of his cousin, Sultan Abdul Hamid II in 1909.
