Celal Adan (born 10 September 1951 in Ağrı) is a Turkish politician. He was elected in 2011 to the 24th Grand National Assembly of Turkey for the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP).[1][2] Adan had previously represented the True Path Party (DYP) in the 21st Assembly (1999–2002),[3] and later been the party's deputy chairman (renamed Democratic Party in 2007).[4]

In the 1980s and 1990s, Adan had a close relationship with Mehmet Ağar; in the early 1980s, he was tried and acquitted of being involved in the 1980 murder of trade unionist Kemal Türkler.[5]
