Kaman-Kalehoyuk is a Bronze Age archaeological site in Turkey, around 100km south east of Ankara. Since 1986 it has been investigated by archaeologists from the Middle Eastern Culture Center in Japan.

The tell mound was also occupied during the Iron Age and Ottoman periods. In 2005 examples of what may be the oldest steel fragments in the world, dating to 1800 BCE, were announced by Hideo Akanuma who analysed finds made there in 1994.
