Mosul Eyalet (Arabic: إيالة الموصل; Ottoman Turkish: ایالت موصل, romanized: Eyālet-i Mūṣul) was an eyalet of the Ottoman Empire. Its reported area in the 19th century was 7,832 square miles (20,280 km2). Although the eyalet was overwhelmingly Kurdish, the city of Mosul itself was largely inhabited by Arabs.
