Muhammad Pasha of Rawanduz (Kurdish: Mîr Mihemed Paşa, Sorani Kurdish: محەمەد پادشای ڕەواندز; also known as Mirê Kor, Kor Mir- the "blind prince"; born in Rawandiz; 1783–1838) was the Kurdish Mir of the Soran Emirate (1813–1838) centred in Soran.^[2] He led an unsuccessful attack against the Emirate of Botan of Bedir Khan Beg in 1834.^[3]

Mir Kor had the title of Mir-i miran "Mir of mirs".^[4] Under Emir Kor, the Soran emirate developed a powerful army. It consisted of between 30 and 50,000 tribal musketeers who were given regular salaries, having the appearance of a national army.^[5] Kor himself ate each evening with 100-200 soldiers from different tribes.^[5] A multitude of different tribes joined his army such as the Rewendek, Sidek, Shirwani, Rusuri, Malibas, Muzuri, Sheikhab, Nurik, Kheilani, Khoshnaw, Hnearai, Herki, Sheikh Mahmudi, Kassan, Derijiki, Bamami, Sekw, Shikuli, Mendik, Baimar, Balak, and Piraji.^[5]

Muhammad Pasha of Rawanduz was repeatedly responsible for massacres of the Yazidis. In 1832, thousands of Yazidis were killed in the Baadre and Shekhan area by Muhammad Pasha of Rawanduz in cooperation with the Kurdish Botan prince Bedir Khan Beg.^[6]^[7]
