Syrian Turkmens (also referred to as Syrian Turkoman or Syrian Turks) are Syrian citizens of Turkic heritage and identity.

They and their ancestors have lived in present-day Syria since Seljuk times in the eleventh century.

During the Syrian Civil War, the Turkmen population of Syria have been involved in military actions against Syrian government forces and have looked to Turkey for support and protection.

More recently, they united under one official governing body, the Syrian Turkmen Assembly and created the military wing of the assembly, the Syrian Turkmen Brigades, to protect Turkmen regions and population and prevent ethnic changes in them.
