Kuruçeşme is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Beşiktaş, Istanbul Province, Turkey. Its population is 2,846 (2022). It is on the European side of the Bosphorus between the neighbourhoods of Ortaköy and Arnavutköy.
Historically, the neighbourhood was called by various names such as Bithias or Bythias, Kalamos, Amopolos, Bytharia. It was located in ancient Thrace and inhabited through Roman times. The present name refers to a historical fountain from the 15th century mosque built by Osman Efendi, the chief tezkire poet of Ottoman sultan Mehmed II (reigned 1444–1446, 1451–1481), and means literally the "Dried fountain".
