Yeliz Kurt (born January 15, 1984) is a Turkish female middle distance runner competing mostly in the 800 m and 1500 m as well as 4x400 m relay events.[1]

She won two silver medals, one in 800 m and the other in 1500 m, at the 2009 European Team Championships-First League held in Bergen, Norway. In 2011, she became gold medalist of the 800 m event at the European Team Championships-First League in Izmir, Turkey.
