Turgutreis is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Bodrum, Muğla Province, Turkey. Its population is 6,041 (2022). Before the 2013 reorganisation, it was a town (belde). It is the second largest town on the Bodrum peninsula. The town is a popular holiday destination with 5 kilometres of sandy beaches, waterfront restaurants and bars, and is considered a resort town.
The town is named after the Ottoman admiral Turgut Reis who was born there in 1485. Also known as Dragut, Turgut Reis was famous for his expeditions on the coasts of Spain, France, Italy, and North Africa, and for his participation in the Ottoman siege of Malta, in which he was killed. There is a memorial to Turgut Reis a few kilometres from the town centre, located in Sabanci Park. The town was formerly named Karatoprak before being renamed in Turgut Reis's honour in 1972.
