Turi Remety or Tur'i Remety (Ukrainian: Тур'ї Ремети; Hungarian: Turja-Remete; Slovak: Turie Remety; Czech: Remetské Hámre or Turjanský Remety) is a village in the Uzhhorod Raion of Zakarpattia Oblast, Ukraine, situated on the river Turichka.
Until 18 July 2020, Turi Remety belonged to Perechyn Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Zakarpattia Oblast to six. The area of Perechyn Raion was merged into Uzhhorod Raion.
The population of the village is 3,340. It stands at 240 meters above sea level.
The church at Turi Remety has on its outer wall a memorial to Fedor Feketa (c. 1789-1838), who regularly carried the post on foot between the village and the town of Uzhorod for over 30 years. It is believed to be the oldest monument to a postman in the world.
