Kuzuculu is a town in Dörtyol district of Hatay Province, Turkey. It is almost merged to Dörtyol to the south at 36°53′N 36°14′E. The population was 11287 as of 2012. The town was founded about five centuries ago by an Ottoman pasha named Emir Ali who built a watermill on the creek just at the south of the settlement. The first settlers were from Central Anatolia. They owned sheep herds and used this settlement as a kışlak (winter quarters for the herd). The name of the town refers to these early settlers, for Kuzucu means lamb owner. Kuzuculu was declared a seat of township in 1957.
