Turkish New Zealanders (Turkish: Türk Yeni Zelandalılar) or New Zealand Turks (Turkish: Yeni Zelandalı Türkler) are Turkish people who are New Zealand citizens, residents of New Zealand, or people who are of Turkish descent. Most have come to New Zealand from Turkey and the island of Cyprus.

Turkish people are mostly established their own businesses specialising in traditional Turkish food, such as kebab, baklava, and Turkish delight. But these businesses don't belong to Turks anymore as most of them were sold to other people.
