Asporça Hatun (Ottoman Turkish: اسپورجہ خاتون) was the first legal wife of Sultan Orhan of the Ottoman Empire.[1]

Of Greek-Byzantine origin,[1] daughter of a Byzantine lord, Asporça was the mother four of Orhan's children, Ibrahim Bey, Fatma Hatun and Selçuk Hatun,[1] and Şerefullah Bey[2]

She appointed the first Ottoman grand vizier Alaeddin Pasha as the representative for her foundations.[2] In September 1323, her father-in-law, Osman I, granted her two villages, Narlı and Kiyaklı, which she then deeded to her descendants, making her son Ibrahim,[3] and Şerefullah,[2] her executors.

When she died, she was buried along with her husband Orhan in the tomb of the latter's father Osman, located in Bursa; the original tomb having been replaced by two new tomb, her sarcophagus is housed in Osman's new tomb, while Orhan has his own tomb.[4]
