Karayazici (Ottoman Turkish: قره یازجی, romanized: Karayazıcı, lit. 'The Black Scribe'; c. 1554 – c. 1602), also known by his first name Abdülhalim (Ottoman Turkish: عبد الحلیم, romanized: ʿAbd al-Ḥalīm), was a leader of the Celali rebellions in the late 16th century Ottoman Empire. His nickname originated from his role as a sekban scribe. He is recognized as the first Celali leader to declare sovereignty in Anatolia, under the title Halim Shah.
