Turhan Feyzioğlu (1922 – 24 March 1988) was a Turkish academic and a politician.
He was born in Kayseri. After finishing the primary school in Kayseri, he studied in Galatasaray High School and in Law school of Istanbul University. After post graduate studies in United Kingdom, he returned to Turkey and became a professor of Ankara University. In 1955, he was elected as the dean of Political Sciences School in Ankara University. He also began writing in the bulletin of his school. His articles however irritated the Democrat Party government and he had to resign. Although in 1960–1961 term he briefly returned to academics and served as the rector of Middle East Technical University (METU) in Ankara, his main area of interest was politics.
In 1957 he went into politics and became a member of Republican people's Party (CHP). In the same year he was elected as the MP from Sivas Province. In 1960 (during his service in METU) he also served in the constituent assembly and was appointed as the minister of education in Cabinet Gürsel I. In the elections held in 1961, he was elected as the MP from Kayseri Province, his home. He served in the two governments of İsmet İnönü In the first he served as state minister (French: ministre sans portefeuille) and in the second as deputy prime minister. Turhan Feyzioğlu was one of the major figures of the party. But beginning by 1965, Bülent Ecevit the secretary general of the party who had the support of İsmet İnönü began to challenge his authority in the party. Turhan Feyzioğlu struggled against Ecevit’s slogan "left of center" (Turkish: ortanın solu).
