Aliçopehlivan (formerly Koyunyeri) is a village in the İpsala District of Edirne Province, Turkey. Its population is 1,782 (2022).

During the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878), the Muslim population (Turks and Pomaks) of the villages Lukovit and Koynare (both in modern Bulgaria) escaped from the Russian armies and were settled in the newly founded Koyunyeri (literally "place of sheep"), which refers to the ranges for sheep around the village and also bears semblance to the refugees' old village's name, Koynare.
