Ertuğrul (أرطغرل), also Ertoğrul (with title Ertuğrul Gazi), (1198-1281) was the father of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire.

In 1227 he inherited the command of the Kayı tribe of the Oghuz Turks following the drowning of his father, Süleyman Shah, in the river Euphrates, fleeing from the Mongol onslaught. Ertuğrul was given the lands of Karaca Dağ, a mountain near Angora (now Ankara), by Ala ad-Din Kay Qubadh I, the Seljuk Sultan of Rüm. Later he was also given the village of Söğüt with the surrounding lands.
