I Turcomanni iracheni (in turco: Irak Türkmenleri, in arabo تركمان العراق‎?) sono un gruppo etnico turco residente nelle regioni dell'Iraq centro-settentrionale. Essi formano il terzo gruppo etnico per numero in Iraq, dopo arabi e curdi.[1]

L'insieme delle zone a maggioranza turcomanna sono note con l'espressione "Turkmeneli".[2]

I turcomanni iracheni sono i discendenti dei vari flussi migratori di genti turche che hanno interessato la Mesopotamia a partire dal VII secolo fino all'anno 1919 con la fine del periodo ottomano.[3][4][5]

Oggi i turcomanni iracheni costituiscono il terzo gruppo etnico più numeroso in Iraq,[1][6][7] dopo gli arabi e i curdi. Secondo il ministero della pianificazione iracheno, nel 2013 la popolazione turca irachena era di 3 milioni rispetto ai 34,7 milioni di abitanti dell'Iraq.[1] Questa minoranza risiede principalmente nell'Iraq settentrionale e centrale e condivide stretti legami culturali e linguistici con la Turchia, in particolare con la regione dell'Anatolia.[8]

    «There’s a strong conflict of opinions regarding the origins of Iraqi Turkmen, however, it is certain that they settled down during the Ottoman rule in the northwest of Mosul, whence they spread to eastern Baghdad. Once there, they became high ranked officers, experts, traders, and executives in residential agglomerations lined up along the vast, fertile plains, and mingled with Kurds, Assyrians, Arabs, and other confessions. With the creation of the new Iraqi state in 1921, Iraqi Turkmen managed to maintain their socioeconomic status.»
