İncirlik (pronounced Injurlik, literally meaning "place of fig orchard") is a town with 15,000 population, in south-eastern Turkey's Adana Province - located approximately 10 km from the city of Adana (population 1.5 million).

This is also the name of a nearby NATO's Southern Region Incirlik Air Base from which American aircraft patrolled Iraq's northern No-Fly Zone between the 1991 Persian Gulf War and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
