Yirmisekizzade Mehmed Said Paşa, also Sahid Mehemet Effendi or Mehmed Said Efendi, was a Georgian[1] Ottoman statesman. He was Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire between October 25, 1755-April 1, 1756[1].

He was a son of Yirmisekiz Mehmed Çelebi ("Mehemet Effendi"), ambassador of the Ottoman Empire to France in 1720-1721. He already accompanied his father during this first mission in France in 1720-1721, as his personal secretary. He is said to have enjoyed French life tremendously, and ended up speaking French fluently.[2]

Sahid Mehemet Effendi was himself dispatched for an embassy in Paris in 1742, as well as another more historically significant one in Sweden in 1733 and Poland, which led to his writing a sefaretname.[3] In Sweden, he succeeded Mustapha Aga as ambassador.[4]
