Yılmaz Vural (born January 1, 1953, Adapazarı) is a Turkish football coach. He was a footballer and played as midfielder in Hacettepe and Sivasspor in 1970's. He is currently the manager of Turkish side Konyaspor.

He is most known for his aggressive coaching style. Vural almost managed every club in the Turkish League except the three giants which are Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, and Galatasaray.

On 11 March 2008, he was sacked after his unsuccessful performance at Vestel Manisaspor with collecting just 7 points in 5 league matches.[1] Recently, his name was given to a street in Adapazarı, where he was born and grown, in accordance with a local municipality project.[2]
