Osman Pazvanto lu (also spelled Osman Passvan-Oglou or Pasvanoglu, Pazvan Oglu/O lu; 1758 January 27, 1807, Vidin) was a Bosnian Ottoman soldier, a governor of the Vidin district after 1794, and a rebel against Ottoman rule. He is also remembered as the friend of Rigas Feraios, a Greek revolutionary poet, whom he tried to rescue from the Ottoman authorities in Belgrade. His grandfather was originally from Bosnia Province, and part of the guards of the city of Sofia, hence Osman's name: pasban-o lu, "son of the guard". Initially a mercenary in service to the Wallachian prince Nicholas Mavrogenes, Osman Pazvanto lu disobeyed the latter on one occasion, and was saved from reprisals through Feraios' intervention.
