Penguen (English: Penguin) is a Turkish satirical magazine. It was founded in 2002 by Metin Üstündağ, Selçuk Erdem, Erdil Yaşaroğlu and Bahadır Baruter. The first issue was published in September 2002.
In March 2005 Penguen was sued by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for several caricatures of him; the magazine was acquitted. In 2011 contributor Bahadır Baruter "faced a one-year prison sentence for a cartoon that [had] the words “There is no God, religion is a lie” on the wall of a mosque."
In May 2012 its offices were the subject of an arson attack. In April 2017 it was announced that Penguen would be closed after next four issues.
