Ayşe Gülsün Bilgehan (born 25 February 1957) is a Turkish politician from the Republican People's Party (CHP), who has served as the Member of Parliament for Ankara's first electoral district since 2015. She previously served as an MP for the same district from 2002 to 2007 and served as an MP for Ankara's second electoral district from 2011 to 2015. She is the granddaughter of İsmet İnönü, the second President of Turkey. Between 2010 and 2011, she served as a Deputy Leader of the CHP. She was offered, but declined, a ministerial position by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu during the formation of an interim election government in August 2015.
Ayşe Gülsün Bilgehan was born on 25 February 1957 in Ankara, as the daughter of journalist Metin Toker and as the granddaughter of the 2nd President of Turkey, İsmet İnönü. She graduated from the International Relations department at the Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po) and later became a member of teaching staff at Bilkent University. She served as the Deputy President of the İnönü Foundation.
Bilgehan was first elected as a Member of Parliament for Ankara's first electoral district in the 2002 general election, serving until 2007. At the Ordinary party Convention that took place on 22 May 2010, she was elected as the party's Deputy General Secretary. However, in November 2010, she and the party General Secretary Önder Sav resigned from their posts, intending to not take part in the leadership team of the newly elected party leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. Nevertheless, Bilgehan returned to the party council in December 2010, becoming a Deputy Leader of the party. She resigned on 17 August 2011, shortly after being elected again as an MP, this time for Ankara's second electoral district at the 2011 general election. She was re-elected again at the June 2015 general election, this time from the first electoral district.
