Idris Baluken (born 2 July 1976) is a Turkish politician of Kurdish origin who currently serves as a parliamentary group leader of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) since April 2014.
He previously served as a parliamentary group leader for the Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) from 2012 until the party's MPs joined the HDP in April 2014. He has been a Member of Parliament for the electoral district of Diyarbakir since the June 2015 general election, having previously served as an MP for Bingöl from 2011 to 2015.
