Koray Aydın (born 5 December 1955) is a Turkish politician who has served as the Deputy Speaker of the Grand National Assembly since 9 July 2015. He previously served as the Minister of Public Works and Housing during the 57th government of Turkey led by Prime Minister Bülent Ecevit. As a politician from the Nationalist Movement Party, he served as the party's General Secretary. He served as a Member of Parliament for Trabzon from 1991 to 1995, as an MP for Ankara from 1999 to 2002 and again from Trabzon from 2011 to November 2015.
He lost his seat in the November 2015 general election.
Koray Aydın was born on 5 December 1955 in Trabzon. Due to his father's job as a state official, he completed his primary and secondary education in different parts of Anatolia before graduating from Karadeniz Technical University Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in 1978. He is married with three children.
Aydın became involved in politics at a young age, first becoming a member of the Executive Board of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Trabzon Youth Wing. He later became the President of the Trabzon Youth Wing. He was actively involved in campaigning efforts during the 1977 general election.
After the political bans imposed in the 1980 Turkish coup d'état were lifted, Aydın was involved in the establishment of the Conservative Party. The Conservatives later renamed themselves and became the Nationalist Workers Party (MÇP), with Aydın bein elected as an MÇP MP for Trabzon in the 1991 general election. Aydın was also a member of the MÇP Central Executive Committee, served as the party's deputy accountant and also later deputy secretary general. As an MP, he served on the Parliamentary Commission on Planning and the Budget. With the MÇP being renamed and becoming the Nationalist Movement Party, Aydın was unable to retain his seat in the 1995 general election after the MHP fell below the 10% election threshold needed to win parliamentary representation. He became the MHP's General Secretary in 1995.
