Chechens in Turkey (; ) are Turkish citizens of Chechen descent and Chechen refugees living in Turkey. The Chechen diaspora in Turkey dates back to the 19th century when the Russian Empire started ethnically cleansing Chechens from their homeland; these expulsions would later become known as the Chechen genocide, contemporaneous with the Circassian genocide.
