Üsküplü Ata (ʿAṭā of Üsküb, d. after 939-40/1533) was an Ottoman poet who flourished in the first half of the tenth/sixteenth century. The exact dates of his birth and death are unknown, but it can be assumed that he died post 939-40/1533. All sources about him relate that his ancestors emigrated from Iran to Rumelia and settled in Üsküp (Skopje), and he claimed descent from the famous Islamic mystic Aḥmed Yesevī (d. 562/1166). He left his education unfinished to devote himself to mysticism (taṣawwuf) ,
