The Kiremitliktepe Ski Jump (Turkish: Kiremitliktepe Kayakla Atlama Kuleleri), or officially Türk Telekom Ski Jumping Towers, is a ski jumping venue located on the Kiremitlik Hill at the base of Palandöken Mountain just southwest of Erzurum in eastern Turkey. Completed in September 2010, the complex consists of a large hill (K-125) and a normal hill (K-95) jumping tower, as well as three additional smaller slopes of K-65, K-40 and K-20 for training purposes and for use by young jumpers.

The construction of the ski jumping center was part of a project of the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Turkey Ski Federation that was needed for the realization of the 2011 Winter Universiade in Erzurum. The ski jumping facility was designed in modernist style by the Slovene architecture firm Atelje S, partner of the co-contractor MANA Original company from the same country, which won the project's international request for tender along with the Turkish Sarıdağlar construction company in March 2008.

Erzurum is located on a high plateau at 1,950 m (6,400 ft) AMSL in Eastern Anatolia Region. The Kiremitliktepe Ski Jump, situated on the highway D-950 about 3 km (1.9 mi) southwest of the city, is at the base of Palandöken Mountain that rise up to 3,271 m (10,732 ft) altitude.

The center with five ski jumping slopes covers an area of 30 ha (74 acres). The two Olympic-size towers has cylindrical structures at the top. The 43 m (141 ft) tall main tower has five ring structures on it with the colors of Olympic rings symbolizing the Olympic sprit. Atop the main tower, a restaurant is situated.
