Fatma Aliye Topuz (9 October 1862 – 13 July 1936), often known simply as Fatma Aliye or Fatma Aliye Hanim, was a Turkish novelist, columnist, essayist, women's rights activist and humanitarian.
Although there was an earlier published novel by the Turkish female author Zafer Hanim in 1877, since that one remained her only novel, Fatma Aliye Hanim with her five novels is credited by literary circles as the first female novelist in Turkish literature and the Islamic world.
