Yeşil Gece ("The Green Night") is a novel by Turkish author and playwright Reşat Nuri Güntekin, written in 1928.

The novel is about Şahin, a boy who is sent to a medrese (an Islamic school) by his devoutly Muslim father. Şahin rebels against his father and takes up rational thought and secularism.[1] He then goes on to spread his ideology on the people of a small town in the background of the Turkish War of Independence and formation of the Turkish Republic.[2]
