Bâb-ı Âli ya da basitleştirilmiş şekli ile Babıali, Osmanlı Devleti'nin son dönemlerinde Sadrazamlık binasına ve daha geniş anlamıyla da Osmanlı hükümetine verilen isimdi. Günümüz Türkçesinde Yüce Kapı anlamına gelen bu terim aynen tercüme edilerek diğer dünya dillerine de girmiştir. Cumhuriyet döneminde Babıali binası İstanbul ilinin Vilayet Konağına dönüştürüldü ve halen de bu amaçla kullanılmağa devam etmektedir. Babıali'nin bir başka anlamı da Türkiye'nin basın dünyasına verilen isimdir
