TheSanjak of Vidin or theVidin Sanjak (Bulgarian:Видински санджак,Serbian:Видински санџак,Turkish:Vidin Sancağı) was asanjak in theOttoman Empire, withVidin as its administrative centre. It was established after theBattle of Nicopolis in 1396 out of the territories of theTsardom of Vidin and in the mid-15th century annexed some territories that belonged to theSerbian Despotate before the Ottomans captured it.
After the major breakthrough into the Balkans at the end of the 14th century, the Ottomans were well aware of the strategic importance ofDanube and decided to capture all important fortresses on its banks. TheTsardom of Vidin, which was under control ofIvan Sratsimir, became an Ottoman vassal state in 1393, and a strong Ottoman garrison was stationed in Vidin.[2] It was established after theBattle of Nicopolis in 1396 out of the territories of theTsardom of Vidin[3]Baba Vida fortress was expanded by the Ottomans who built long walls around it.[4]
Some people from neighbouringOltenia began migrating to the Sanjak of Vidin, especially after theLong War (1591–1606) and the hunger crisis which struck after the war.[5]
In 1807, during theFirst Serbian Uprising,Serbian rebels attacked parts of the sanjak, which at the time was still under the control of Ottoman renegadeOsman Pazvantoglu. The rebels' aim was to establish communication with the Russian troops in Wallachia under General Ignatiev.[6] After the collapse of the Serbian uprising, part of the territory aroundSokobanja andSvrljig recaptured from the rebels was annexed by the Sanjak of Vidin.[7]
In 1455, Ottomans registered all populated places in the sanjak for the first time.[8] According to the Ottoman tax registers from 1454–55 the territory of the Sanjak included the followingnahiyahs: Banya (Sokobanja), Belgrad (present-dayBelogradchik), Veleshnitsa,Vidin, Gelvie (Glavje), Zagorie, Isvrlig (Svrljig), Kladobo (Kladovo), Krivina, Timok, Tcherna reka/Crna reka and the following fortresses:Vidin, Banya (Sokobanja), Belgrad (present-dayBelogradchik), Isvrlig (Svrljig) and Florentin.[9]Negotinska Krajina,Ključ and partlyCrna Reka, that belonged to theSerbian Despotate prior to Ottoman conquest, were included in the Sanjak of Vidin after 1455, and at that time were part of a special military frontier (krajište).[10]
Fourdefters were made in the Sanjak of Vidin in the period between 1483 and 1586.[11]
After 1541, the sanjak became part of theBudin Eyalet. From 1846 to 1864, the sanjak belonged to theWiddin Eyalet,[12] while from 1864 to 1878, it was part of theDanube Vilayet.[13]
The Sanjak of Vidin was one of six Ottoman sanjaks with the most developedshipbuilding (alongside the sanjaks ofSmederevo,Nicopolis,Požega,Zvornik andMohacs).[16]

Неколико година после тога настаће усел>авање становништва са румунске стране у видински санџак, особито после аустријско-турског рата 1593 – 1606. и глади која је после тога завладала
Борбе на овом ратишту вођене су великом жестином 1807, јер је устаничка војска покушавала да nуспостави и учврсти комуникацију са руском војском генерала Игњатијева у Влашкој. То им је пошло за руком, а турски утврђени гарнизони Фетислам (Кладово) и Неготин, остали су изолована острва, која су дуго одолевала српско – руским нападима. Подручје Кључа и Крајине коначно је ослобођено тек 1810, у садејству српске са руском војском
