Ibrahim Ayhan (10 February 1968 – 20 September 2018) was a Turkish politician of Kurdish origin who had been a Member of Parliament for his hometown of Sanliurfa since 12 June 2011 until his death. He was first elected as an independent alongside all the other successful candidates of the Kurdish nationalist Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), which fielded candidates as independents in order to bypass the 10% election threshold needed to gain representation in the Grand National Assembly. On 5 October 2010, he was arrested as part of an investigation into the Kurdish confederalist Group of Communities in Kurdistan (KCK) organisation.
