Podolia Eyalet was an eyalet of the Ottoman Empire. Its capital was Kamianets-Podilskyi. In 1672, the Ottoman army, led by Sultan Mehmed IV, captured Kamaniçe after a short siege; the Treaty of Buchach confirmed Ottoman control of the city, which became the centre of a new eyalet. The treaty was repudiated by the Polish Diet, war broke out anew; the Polish campaign proved unsuccessful, the truce of Żurawno left Podolia within Ottoman borders. Another Polish-Ottoman war broke out again in 1683. For the next 16 years, Ottoman rule in Podolia was limited to the blockaded fortress of Kamianets, held by a garrison of 6,000 soldiers; the other garrisons in Podolia, in Bar, Medzhybizh and Chortkiv exceeded 100 soldiers each. According to the Ottoman provincial budget of 1681, 13 million akçe were spent yearly in the eyalet for soldiers' pay. Of this amount, less than 3% was collected from Podolia itself, the rest was sent from the central treasury. In 1681, the patriarch of Constantinople appointed the Orthodox metropolitan of Kamianets, named Pankratij.

The fortress was returned to Poland as a result of the Treaty of Karlowitz. During the 27 years of Ottoman rule, Podolia was administered by nine Ottoman pashas: Küstendilli Halil, Arnavut Ibrahim Defterdar Ahmed Arnavut Abdurrahman Tokatlı Mahmud Bozoklu Mustafa Sarı Boşnak Hüseyin Yegen Ahmed Kahraman Mustafa Podolia The eyalet was divided into four sanjaks: Sanjak of Kamaniçe Sanjak of Bar Sanjak of Mejibuji Sanjak of Yazlofça Podolia under the Ottoman rule, Eyalet-i Kamaniçe 1672-1699
