İkdam ("Effort") was a newspaper in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey. In the period of its publication, in the city of Constantinople, now known in English as Istanbul, it became the most popular newspaper.[2]

Ahmet Cevdet Oran established it in 1894. It initially advocated for Turkism but held a critical attitude towards the Committee of Union and Progress after the Young Turk Revolution had occurred. It was disestablished in 1928.[2]
