Qara Osman or Kara Osman or Qara Yoluq Osman or sometimes Uthman (Template:Lang-az, Template:Lang-tr) (mid to late 14th century to 1435, reigned 1378–1435) was a late 14th- and early 15th-century leader of the Turkmen tribal federation of Ak Koyunlu in what is now Azerbaijan, Iraq, and Turkey. According to Byzantine and Ak Koyunlu sources, he was the founder of his dynasty, married a Byzantine princess, as was custom, and gained control over Diyarbakır in 1402.
