Köprülü Fazıl Ahmed Pasha (1635 – October 19, 1676), of the Köprülü family, was the grand vizier of the Ottoman Empire from 1661 when he inherited the title from his father Mehmed Köprülü. He was dubbed Fazıl, meaning fair-minded, for reducing taxation and promoting education. On the other hand, he was fierce in war and captured Candia (present day Heraklion) in 1669 and signed the Treaty of Zurawno on October 16, 1676. He died three days later from excessive drinking.
