Serbestî (Ottoman Turkish for "Freedom") was an Ottoman newspaper. It was founded in 1908 by Mevlânzade Rıfat, who in 1924 would become one of the 150 personae non gratae of the newly established Republic of Turkey.

The paper opposed the progressive Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), which was coming into power at the time of its founding. The editor-in-chief of Serbestî, Hasan Fehmi Bey, was murdered on April 6, 1909 by unknown assailants.
