The Köprülü (also Kiuprili, Koprili and Kuprili) was an Ottoman noble family of Albanian origin. The family is notable for having seven of its members being Ottoman Grand Viziers. They provoked reforms and were very competent, but couldn't stop the empire's downfall (see also the Treaty of Karlowitz).
