Erdinç Saçan (born in 's-Hertogenbosch, 12 May 1979) is an internet entrepreneur, website administrator, columnist and politician of Turkish descent for the PvdA. After studying management and data processing at the Fontys college, he established his eponymous company Saçan Consultancy. At the same time, he founded several websites dealing with politics and the position of Turks in the Netherlands. He also became a state politician in noord-Brabant province. In 2006, he was nominated as a candidate for the Tweede Kamer.

Saçan achieved notoriety with a post on his personal website which was perceived as a denial of Turkish responsibility for the Armenian Genocide. This was against the policy of his own party, and ultimately led to his disendorsement as a PvdA candidate.
