Ismailaga Jamaah, also known as Ismail Aga Jamaah, is a branch of the Gumushanevi Dergah of the Naqshbandi-Khalidi tariqah in Turkey, taking its name from the Ismailaga Mosque in Fatih, Istanbul. It is aligned with the Naqshbandi order of Sunni Sufism through the Khalidiyya lineage and was led by Mahmut Ustaosmanoglu, imam of the Ismailaga Mosque from 1954 to 1996; it carries significant influence over daily life in parts of the Fatih district, prompting a Turkish politician to describe the whole district in 2006 as an Ismailaga republic, and it also maintains communities in other Turkish cities including Erzincan.
