Vilayet Adrianople

**Vilayet Adrianople** atau **Vilayet Edirne** (; *Vilâyet-i Edirne*) adalah sebuah divisyen pentadbiran tahap pertama (vilayet) dalam Empayar Uthmaniyyah.

Sebelum tahun 1878, vilayet mempunyai keluasan  dan menganjur sehingga ke Pergunungan Balkan. Bagaimanapun, berikutan dengan Perjanjian Berlin (1878), Sanjak İslimye, kebanyakan Sanjak Filibe dan sebahagian kecil Sanjak Edirne (Kızılağaç kaza dan Monastır nahiya) telah dikeluarkan untuk dijadikan wilayah autonomi Rumelia Timur, dengan jumlah keluasan 32,978&nbsp;km2. Wilayah ini disatukan secara aman dengan Prinsipaliti Bulgaria pada tahun 1885.

The rest of the vilayet was split between Turkey and Greece in 1923, culminating in the formation of Western and Eastern Thrace after World War I as part of the Treaty of Lausanne. A smaller portion had already gone to Bulgaria by virtue of the Treaty of Bucharest (1913) following the Balkan wars. In the late 19th century, it bordered on the Istanbul Vilayet, the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara in the east, on the Salonica Vilayet in the west, on Eastern Rumelia (Bulgarian since 1885) in the north and on the Aegean Sea in the south. Sometimes the area is also described as **Southern Thrace**, or **Adrianopolitan Thrace**.

After the city of Adrianople (Edirne in Turkish; pop. in 1905 about 80,000), the principal towns were Rodosto (now Tekirdağ) (35,000), Gelibolu (25,000), Kırklareli (16,000), İskeçe (14,000), Çorlu (11,500), Dimetoka (10,000), Enez (8000), Gümülcine (8000) and Dedeağaç (3000).
