Neo-Ottomanism (Turkish: Yeni Osmanlıcılık) is a coined term that describes Turkish foreign policy under the Justice and Development Party (AK Party). Neo-Ottomanism is a dramatic shift from the traditional Turkish foreign policy of the Kemalist ideology. The shift in the Turkish foreign policy under Turgut Özal's government can be described as the first step of Neo-Ottomanism.

Ottoman Empire, was a great power which, at its peak, controlled the Balkans, most of the modern-day Middle East, and most of North Africa. Neo-Ottomanism policy encourages increased engagement in these regions as part of Turkey’s growing regional influence. Turkey uses its soft power to achieve its goals. This foreign policy contributed to an improvement in Turkey's relations with its neighbors, particularly with Iraq, Iran and Syria. However, the relations of Turkey with its traditional ally, Israel was strained especially following the Gaza flotilla raid. Foreign minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, is opposed to the use of this term to describe the foreign policy of Turkey under the AK Party government. The new foreign policy has started a debate on Western media whether Turkey is undergoing an axis shift, meaning Turkey is drifting away from the transatlantic system and heading towards the Middle East. President of Turkey, Abdullah Gül dismissed the claims that Turkey has shifted its foreign policy axis.
