Mehmet Tekin Arıburun (October 3, 1903 – October 13, 1993) was a Turkish soldier and statesman. He was born in then-Ottoman territory of Ishtib, Kosovo Vilayet (today Štip, part of the Republic of Macedonia). He was the last (Acting) President to be born outside the territory of present-day Turkey. His father is Hüseyin Avni who was the commander of 57th Regiment in Gallipoli Campaign in 1915 during World War I. Hüseyin Avni Bey died in action in Arıburnu. After Surname Law (Turkey) of 1935, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk requested that he should take Arıburun as his surname to honour his late father.
