Koray Aydın (born 5 December 1955) is a Turkish politician who has been serving as the Deputy Speaker of the Grand National Assembly since 9 July 2015.

Aydın became involved in politics at a young age, first becoming a member of the Executive Board of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Trabzon Youth Wing.
