Özden Örnek (2 February 1943, İzmit) is a retired Turkish admiral. He was the Commander of the Turkish Naval Forces from 2003 to 2005.[1] In 2012 Örnek was sentenced to twenty years in prison for his alleged role in the 2003 "Sledgehammer" coup plan.[2]

In 2007, the Nokta weekly published portions of a diary purportedly belonging to the Örnek, indicating that four other coup plans were prepared: Sarıkız (blonde girl; idiomatic for 'cow'), Ayışığı (moonlight), Yakamoz (Sea Sparkle), and Eldiven (glove).[3][4] Admiral Örnek himself called the diary a forgery.[5] The Armed Forces has prevaricated on this issue without denying its authenticity altogether.[6]

He is the father of film director Tolga Örnek.
