İsmail Ogan (born 5 March 1933) is a retired Turkish freestyle wrestler and coach. He competed at the 1960 and 1964 Olympics and won a silver and a gold medal, respectively. He also collected three medals at the world championships in 1957–1963.[1][2]

Ogan began wrestling in the traditional Turkish yağlı güreş (oil wrestling) style and in 1950 changed to freestyle wrestling after he was discovered by Yaşar Doğu. Soon, he was admitted to the national team, where he was trained by Celal Atik and Yaşar Doğu. Ogan retired from competitions in 1964, and then worked as a wrestling coach[3] and the national Sports Minister.[2]
