Ballaban Badera (also known as Ballaban Pasha or Ballaban Badheri)[1] was an Ottoman military officer from Albania. A conscript of the Devshirme child soldier system, he became a Pasha. Ballaban Badera was said to be the first one who climbed the walls of Constantinople during its siege.[2] He held the position of sanjakbey of the Sanjak of Ohrid in 1464 and 1465.[3][4]

Tursun p.125, cf Critoboulos, 147; emphasize Iskender's "breaking of faith" as the reason for the Ottoman operations against him from 868/1464 onwards. By permitting Venetian troops to garrison Kruje, he created a real threat to the Ottoman forces in Albania. In 1464 and 1465 the neighbouring sanjak begis and especially the governor of Ohrid, Ballaban, launched the swift attacks.
