Kuyucu Murad Pasha was an Ottoman Bosnian statesman who served as Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire during the reign of Ahmed I from 9 December 1606 to 5 August 1611. He was also called "Koca Murad Pasha". The nickname "Kuyucu" is said to have been either from his ruthless suppression of Celali rebellions by beheading rebels and stuffing their heads down wells, or him falling into a well and being taken prisoner in battle.
