Prince Sabahaddin de Neuchâtel (born Sultanzade Mehmed Sabâhaddin; 13 February 1877 in Constantinople — 30 June 1948 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland) was an Ottoman sociologist and thinker.
Because of his threat to the ruling House of Osman (the Ottoman dynasty), of which he was a member, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to his political activity and push for democracy in the Empire, he was exiled. Although part of the ruling Ottoman dynasty himself, through his mother, Sultanzade Sabahaddin was known as a Young Turk and thus opposed to the absolute rule of the dynasty.
As a follower of Émile Durkheim, Prince Sabahaddin is considered to be one of the founders of sociology in Turkey.
He established the Private Enterprise and Decentralization Association (Turkish: Tesebbüs-i Sahsi ve Adem-i Merkeziyet Cemiyeti) in 1902.
