Kara Musa Pasha (Bosnian: Kara Musa-Paša) was an Ottoman soldier and statesman who was named grand vizier by Sultan Ibrahim I on 16 September 1647 after Nevesinli Salih Pasha's execution.
Kara Musa-paša was born in the village Vikoča in the vicinity of Foča, now Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was born to the family of Vehabegović.
His first meeting with Sultan Murad IV was in 1630 after which he got a title of Egyptian Deputy. Later on in his life he became member of Sublime Forte/Divan(Ottoman council) and was selected three times to serve as deputy of Budin Province, Ottoman Empire. There in 1643 he received an endowment for the construction of the Musa-Pasha Mosque in Nova Kasaba, Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the Crete war campaign, Kara Musa Pasha received the title of Kapudan Pasha (Grand Admiral of the Ottoman Navy). While he was fighting in the war, the imperial seal signifying his promotion was sent to him by sea. After having received the news of his promotion Musa Pasha died, on 21 September 1647, in front of the castle of Kandiye (Iraklion). He never received the seal.
Upon Musa Pasha's death, Hezarpare Ahmed Pasha, who was delegated as acting grand vizier while waiting for Kara Musa Pasha's arrival in the Ottoman capital, was promoted to the rank of full grand vizier.
In the beginning of the same year of 1647, he had married Şekerpare Hatun, a lady in waiting and a favorite of the sultan, which was the very reason for his appointment as Grand Admiral.
