Sıtkı Üke (1876; Salonica (Thessaloniki) – 1941; Istanbul) was an officer of the Ottoman Army and the general of the Turkish Army. Sıtkı grew up in the same town as Atatürk, the founder of modern-day Turkey, who referred to Sıtkı as "big brother" and conferred on him the surname Üke, or "honor", during the establishment of the modern Turkish state.
