Aimée du Buc de Rivéry (born 4 December 1776) was a French heiress, distantly related to Joséphine de Beauharnais (first wife of Napoleon), who went missing at sea as a young woman. She was thought by some to have been captured by Barbary pirates, sold as a harem concubine, and was the same person as Nakşîdil Sultan, mother of Sultan Mahmud II of the Ottoman Empire; but this theory has been debunked.
