Harun Karadeniz (1942-15 August 1975) was a student leader of the 1968 generation in Turkey and the chair of the Student Union of Istanbul Technical University. He, together with other prominent student leaders such as Deniz Gezmiş, was one of the student leaders who organised the famous protest against the American Navy Sixth Fleet arriving at Istanbul port.
Harun suffered cancer when he was in detention after the 1971 military coup in Turkey. He was not allowed medical treatment during his imprisonment, which eventually led to the spread of the cancer. Despite therapy in London, he died at age 33.
