Sebahattin Öztürk (born 1 July 1962) is a Turkish politician, civil servant and bureaucrat who served as the Minister of the Interior of Turkey between March and August 2015.

Previously the Undersecretary to the Interior Ministry since 2014, he took over as Minister from Justice and Development Party politician Efkan Ala three months prior to the June 2015 general election, as required by Article 114 of the Turkish Constitution.

Graduating from Istanbul University Faculty of Political Science and Public Governance in 1986, Öztürk successfully completed an exam to become a Kaymakam (a sub-governor of a provincial district) in 1987.

Such preparations apparently included an allegedly staged operation in Ağrı Province against the Kurdish separatist PKK organisation in order to increase the AKP's popularity.
