Sadri is a masculine given name used chiefly in Turkey and the wider Persianate world, stemming from Arabic sadr ("chest; forefront, leader"). In Ottoman Turkish it came to mean "chief, eminent," and was also a clipped form of the theophoric compound Sadr al-Din (Turkish Sadreddin/Sadrettin, Tajik/Uzbek Sadriddin), "foremost of the faith." As a result, the name conveys senses of leadership, prominence, and being "at the heart" of matters.

Documented from late Ottoman times into modern Turkey, it appears among Tatars and in the Albanian-speaking Balkans as well. Notable bearers include Turkish actor Sadri Alışık, Tatar statesman Sadri Maksudi Arsal, and Albanian poet Sadri Ahmeti. Variants and related forms include Sadr, Sadri/Sadry (transliterations), Sadrettin/Sadreddin, Sadruddin/Sadriddin; Sadri may function as a familiar short form of these longer names. In Persian and South Asian contexts Sadri also occurs as a surname. Unrelated to the Indo-Aryan language name Sadri (Nagpuri).
