Umut Oran (born 16 October 1962) is a Turkish textile manufacturer and a centre-left politician who currently serves as a Vice President of Socialist International since 13 December 2014.

Oran announced his candidacy for the party leadership against the then-incumbent Deniz Baykal during the 2008 Ordinary Convention, but failed to gain enough nominations to run for election.

Oran joined the Turkey Clothing Manufacturers' Association (Türkiye Giyim Sanayicileri Derneği Başkanlığı) in 1993 and was elected as its president in 2002.

Developing the Association's UFUK 2010 project that had begun in 2001, Oran also pushed for the formal integration of unlicensed workers and for a rise in the minimum wage.

[4] As part of his leadership of the Clothing Manufacturers' Association, Oran was elected to the Presidency of the Bolu Chamber of Commerce and Industry Council in 2005, serving in the role until 2009.

[7] Oran was a candidate for the leadership of the Republican People's Party in 2008, but failed to gather enough signatures to nominate himself for election against the serving incumbent Deniz Baykal.

He was, for unknown reasons, left out of the CHP candidate lists for the June 2015 general election, leading to many party supporters accusing Kılıçdaroğlu of trying to eliminate competition against his leadership.
