Osman Kavala (nar. 1957) je turecký ekonóm, podnikateľ, mecenáš a občiansky aktivista. Po tom, čo zdedil rodinnú firmu, sa od roku 2002 venoval najmä občianskej spoločnosti — zakladal a financoval kultúrne projekty, liberálne a ľavicové nadácie a mimovládne organizácie. Je zakladateľom a predsedom správnej rady istanbulskej neziskovej organizácie Anadolu Kültür, ktorá sa venuje umeniu a kultúrnemu dedičstvu. V roku 2019 dostal Európsku cenu za archeologické dedičstvo od Európskej asociácie archeológov a Cenu Ayşenur Zarakoluovej za slobodu myslenia a prejavu. Zadržali ho 18. októbra 2017 a od novembra toho roku je vo väznici Silivri pri Istanbule. V apríli 2022 ho istanbulský trestný súd pre závažné trestné činy odsúdil na sprísnené doživotie za údajný pokus o zvrhnutie vlády v súvislosti s protestmi v parku Gezi z roku 2013. Európsky súd pre ľudské práva rozhodol v jeho veci trikrát — v decembri 2019, v júli 2022 v konaní o nesplnení rozsudku a napokon 25. augusta 2026, keď Veľká komora nariadila Turecku prepustiť ho a jeho odsúdenie označila z pohľadu dohovoru za neplatné.
