Nergizev Hanım (Ottoman Turkish: نرکزو خانم; "daffodil"; 1830 – 26 October 1848 o 1858), called also Nergizu Hanim or Nergis Hanim, was a consort of Sultan Abdulmejid I of the Ottoman Empire.

She was Circassian, by the Natuhay tribe. She had two brothers, Ibrahim Bey and Hüseyn Bey, and two sisters, Mihrinur Hanım and Münevver Hanım, who lived with her in Istanbul. Her brothers became Kaymakam.

Nergizev married Abdulmejid in 1847, and was given the title of "Fourth Ikbal".[1][2] On 7 July 1848, a year after the marriage, she gave birth to her only child, a son, Şehzade Mehmed Fuad in the Old Çırağan Palace. The prince died at the age of two months on 28 September 1848.[2][3]
