Turkey Taekwondo Federation (Turkish: Türkiye Taekwondo Federasyonu) is the governing body of Taekwondo sport in Turkey. Originally, it was formed in 1968 within the Turkey Judo Federation, where it maintained its activities thirteen years long. In 1981, it was disconnected from the Judo Federation and became a separate organization under the governmental Directorate General of Youth and Sports (Gençlik ve Spor Genel Müdürlüğü, GSGM).[1] The headquarters is located in Ulus quarter of Ankara. It is a member of the European Taekwondo Union (ETU).

It organizes tournaments and championships for all age groups of both genders at national level. In addition, support services like the education of referees and coaches are within its duties. Participations of Turkish Taekwondo sportspeople at all international competition events are organized by the federation.[2]

In 1995, the Turkish team placed in third rank at the World Championships. At the 1998 European Championships, Turkey national team became champion.[1]
