Die Baum-Hasel (Corylus colurna), auch Türkische Hasel, Türkische Haselnuss oder Byzantinische Hasel genannt, ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Gattung Hasel (Corylus) innerhalb der Familie Birkengewächse (Betulaceae). Ihr natürliches Verbreitungsgebiet reicht von Südosteuropa und Kleinasien über den Transkaukasus und den Kaukasus bis in den Himalaya. Sie zeichnet sich durch eine außerordentliche Toleranz gegenüber Dürre aus, so dass sie als Baumart im Klimawandel prädestiniert ist. Sie hat ein wertvolles Holz, weswegen sie auf dem Balkan stark dezimiert wurde.
