Yurdusev Özsökmenler (born 1 January 1952) is a Turkish politician who served as the Deputy Speaker of the Grand National Assembly from 9 July to 1 November 2015. She was elected as a Member of Parliament for the electoral district of Van in the June 2015 general election from the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP). She previously served as the Mayor of Bağlar between 2004 and 2009.
Yurdusev Özsökmenler was born on 1 January 1952 in the district of Lapseki in Çanakkale Province. Her mother was a primary school teacher. Özsökmenler graduated from İstanbul University Department of Anthropology and Ethnology before becoming a journalist at newspapers such as Özgür Gündem and Özgür Ülke. She later became a publishing expert at the Confederation of Public Workers' Unions (KESK).
Özsökmenler was a candidate from the Democratic People's Party (DEHAP) for the electoral district of Gaziantep in the 2002 general election. She was not elected since her party failed to win above the 10% election threshold needed to win parliamentary representation.
In the 2004 local elections, Özsökmenler was the candidate of the Social Democratic People's Party (SHP) to become the Mayor of Bağlar Municipality. With 50,733 votes, Özsökmenler was elected Mayor of Bağlar and served until 2009. In the 2009 local elections, Yüksel Baran from the Democratic Society Party (DTP) was elected as Mayor in her place.
