Turkish Passport is a 2011 Turkish film directed by Burak Arliel that purports to tell the story of rescue of Jews during the Holocaust by Turkish diplomats. It was promoted as "the only Holocaust film with a happy ending".
The film competed in the 'European Documentary' category at the European Independent Film Festival 2012.
The historical accuracy of the film has been criticized, for presenting unsubstantiated accounts of rescue. Historian Marc David Baer calls it a "propaganda film". Turkish-born historian Uğur Ümit Üngör states that the film is "based on manipulation, mystification, and misrepresentation".
