Bayramiye, Bayramiyya, or Bayramism is a Turkic peoples Sufi order (Tariqah) founded by Haji Bayram Veli (Hacı Bayram-ı Veli) in Ankara around the year 1400 AD. The order spread to the then Ottoman Empire capital Istanbul where there were several Zawiyya and into the Balkans, especially in Bosnia, Macedonia and Greece. The order also spread into Egypt where a Tekke was found in the capital, Cairo.

Although the order is now virtually non-existent, its influence can be seen in Aziz Mahmud Hudayi, and the prolific writer and
Muslim saint İsmail Hakkı Bursevî.
