Youth Union of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Gençlik Birliği, TGB) is a Turkish anti-American, anti-Atlanticist, and Eurasianist revolutionary youth organization closely associated with the Patriotic Party. Founded on 19 May 2006, it comprises 65 student clubs and societies from over 40 Turkish universities.

TGB opposes any future Turkish membership in the European Union and any cooperation with what it calls "American imperialism". It has organized mass protests against the Justice and Development Party.
