List of ambassadors of Turkey to the European Union

The list of ambassadors of Turkey to the European Union comprises diplomats responsible for representing Turkey's interests within the European Union. The Permanent Delegation of Turkey to the EU has been active since 1963.

The Permanent Delegation initially used a building on Avenue Louise as its chancery until 1986. Between 1986 and 2011, the delegation shared a building on Rue Montoyer with Turkey's Embassy to Belgium and the consulate-general in Brussels. Reflecting Turkey's progress in EU accession negotiations, the Permanent Delegation moved to a larger, more modern building in May 2011.
