Özgürcan Özcan (born April 10, 1988 in Antalya, Turkey) is a Turkish football player who plays as a forward.

He won a World Fair-Play award after informing the referee that he scored a goal with his hand in a match between Galatasaray and Denizlispor youth teams. The goal was cancelled and he was shown a yellow card.

He has been trained by the Galatasaray youth department and was chosen for the professional team by Gheorghe Hagi in the 2004/2005 season. He never appeared in any official match squad. He made his debut in a Turkish Cup match against Mersin İdman Yurdu, on October 27, 2005. He scored a goal in the same match.

Turkish legendary striker Hakan Şükür has said, "Özgürcan is a new product of Galatasaray football academy. He is my 'crown prince'(heir apparent)". This statement raised expectations from him by the media. He has many important features as a striker (i.e.) good at jumping, heading, stamina and composure despite his young age. "

Özgürcan was lent out on loan to Kayserispor in the season of 2006/2007.

Once again he is loaned to Gaziantepspor for the season of 2007/2008.

Özgürcan was loaned out Sakaryaspor during the August 2009 transfer window. He started his loan scoring 17 goals in 31 league matches.

He joined fellow TFF First League club Çaykur Rizespor on loan of the season.
