Ömer Dinçer (born 10 September 1956 in Karaman) is a Turkish politician and academic.

Before becoming a member of the Turkish parliament, he taught at Marmara University for years and published many papers in his field.

On 21 October 2005, Council of Higher Education of Turkey (YÖK) identified extensive plagiarism in his academic book Introduction to Business Administration and expelled Dinçer from teaching profession at any university in Turkey.

On 6 July 2011 he was appointed as Minister of National Education in the third cabinet of Erdoğan.

Same year, Council of Higher Education of Turkey had quietly cleared Dinçer to the dismay of many academics.
