The Yörüks, also Yuruks or Yorouk, are a Turkish ethnic group, some of whom are nomadic, primarily inhabiting the mountains of Anatolia and partly Balkan peninsula.

Their name derives from the Turkish verb yürü- (yürümek in infinitive), which means "to walk", with the word yörük or yürük designating "those who walk, walkers".

During the Ottoman Emoire, Yörüks live within the Yörük Sanjak (Turkish: Yörük Sancağı) which is not a territorial unit like other sanjaks but a separate organizational unit of the Ottoman Empire.
