The Pashalik of Berat was a pashalik within the Ottoman Empire. Created in modern-day central Albania by Ahmet Kurt Pasha in 1774, it was dissolved after Ahmet's ally, Ibrahim Pasha of Berat, was defeated by Ali Pasha in 1809. Thus, the pashalik of Berat was absorbed into the Pashalik of Janina, another province within the Ottoman Empire. This pashalik was one of the three pashaliks created by Albanians in the period of the Albanian Pashaliks.
