Karacakılavuz is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Süleymanpaşa, Tekirdağ Province, Turkey.

According to a popular legend the settlement was named after a roe deer (Turkish: karaca) which acted as a guide (Turkish: kılavuz) to the pursuing hunters and directed them to the location of the settlement.

However, former name of the settlement during the Ottoman Empire was Karacakuloğuz (Dark servant Oğuz) which diminishes the plausibility of the legend.

In 1884-1885, Turks from Sevlievo (whom had recently fallen under Bulgaria) were settled in the settlement.

The main crops produced are wheat, sun flower, canola and fodder.
