Çandarlı Ibrahim Pasha (Ottoman Turkish: چندارلی ابراهیم پاشا; died August 15, 1429), sometimes called the Elder, was an Ottoman statesman who served as grand vizier of the Ottoman Empire under Murad II, from 1421 to 1429.

He was the third member of the prominent Çandarlı family to become grand vizier, after his father Çandarlı Halil Pasha the Elder and his brother Çandarlı Ali Pasha. His son, Çandarlı Halil Pasha the Younger and his namesake grandson, Çandarlı Ibrahim Pasha the Younger, also became grand viziers.

He was married to Lady Isfahan Shah Khatun (died c. 1436), a direct descendant of Sheikh Edebali. She was the mother of all his children, except the eldest, Halil Pasha. She established a madrasa in Jerusalem: the al-'Uthmaniyya.
