The Mamluk dynasty of Iraq is a dynasty that rules over Iraq in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

In the Ottoman Empire, Mamluks are freed slaves who convert to Islam, are trained in a special school, then assigned to military and administrative duties.

Such Mamluks preside over Ottoman Iraq from 1704 to 1831.

The Mamluk ruling elite, composed principally of Georgian officers, succeedsin asserting autonomy from their Ottoman overlords, and restores order and some degree of economic prosperity in the region.

The Ottomans overthrow the Mamluk regime in 1831 and gradually impose their direct rule over Iraq, which will last until the First World War, although the Mamluks will continue to be a dominant socio-political force in Iraq, as most of the administrative personnel of note in Baghdad are drawn from former Mamluk households, or comprise a cross-section of the notable class in Mamluk times.
