Deniz Yılmaz (born 26 February 1988) is a professional footballer who last played as a striker for Turkish club Gençlerbirliği.

[1] Yılmaz began his career with Bayern Munich, and made his debut for the reserve team in August 2005, as a substitute for Daniel Sikorski in a 0–0 draw with VfR Aalen.

From the 2007–08 season, Yılmaz established himself as a regular in Bayern's reserve team, and was named in the first-team squad for the 2008–09 Champions League.

He was joint top scorer the following year, along with Boy Deul and Steffen Wohlfarth, but each player only managed six goals and Bayern II were relegated from the 3.

In 2016, after years of waiting for a senior Turkish call-up, Yılmaz switched to the Azerbaijan national football team.
