Kireçburnu is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Sarıyer, Istanbul Province, Turkey.

During the Byzantine Empire era Kireçburnu was a village named Kleidai tou Pontou.

[4] The reason for this is that Kireçburnu is the first place where you see the Black Sea when you go north from Istanbul.

[6] Turkish for lime is kireç and for cape is burun; eventually the village was called Kireçburnu.

As the urban fabric of İstanbul expanded Kireçburnu became a neighborhood of the city.
