Madonna in a Fur Coat (Turkish: Kürk Mantolu Madonna) is a novel written by Turkish author Sabahattin Ali. It was published in 1943.

The book tells the story of Raif, who is living a purposeless life until he meets a woman named Maria Puder. Initially, the book was criticized by many critics because "it was just another love story", but it became a bestseller in time, and is usually recalled among the best works in Turkish literature. It was translated to English by Maureen Freely in 2016, making Sabahattin Ali one of the two Turkish authors to be included in Penguin Classics, alongside Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar with his book, The Time Regulation Institute.
