Fehmî (1564–1596),[1] also referred as Kınalızâde Mehmet Fehmi, Kınalızâde Fehmi Çelebi[1] or Molla Mohammed (Mehmet) Fehmi[2] was an Ottoman diwan poet.

A scion of the prominent Kınalızâde family from Isparta in Anatolia,[3] Fehmî was born in Damascus,[2] today's Syria, back then part of the Damascus Eyalet of the Ottoman Empire, where his father was working as a kadı (judge).[4] He was the son of the well-known scholar Ali Çelebi,[5] and brother of the other poet Kınalızâde Hasan Çelebi.[5]
