Azeri Turk (Azerbaijani: Azəri Türk) is a scientific, literary, social, economic, and political journal that was published by exiles who came to Istanbul after the Soviet takeover of the Azerbaijan Republic in the 1920s.

The journal was first published on February 1, 1928, and was published every 15 days. The owner of the journal was Mammad Sadig Axundzade, the director and chief editor was Mahammad Amin Rasulzade. All issues of the journal had articles about the problems of Azerbaijan, as the country was going through a difficult period during the time the journal was published (1928–1931). Azeri Turk was an important publication that helped shape the idea of independence for Azerbaijanis both in Azerbaijan and abroad.

In November 1928, there was a disagreement between Mahammad Amin Rasulzade, Mirza Bala Mammadzade and Mammad Sadig Axundzade, as a result of which Mahammad Amin Rasulzade and Mirza Bala Mammadzade left the journal and established Odlu Yurd journal. Later, Shefi bay Rustembayli also left the journal and joined Odlu Yurd journal.[1]
