Salih Bozok (1881 – April 25, 1941) was an officer of the Ottoman Army and later the Turkish Army and a politician of the Republic of Turkey. He was the chief aide-de-camp of Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk), the founder of modern Turkey.

Bozok was a close childhood and lifelong friend of Ataturk, both having been born in 1881 in Salonica and having attended the Monastir Military High School together. On November 10, 1938, upon witnessing the dead body of Ataturk in the latter's bedroom of Dolmabahce Palace, a distraught and stunned Bozok stepped outside and shot himself through the chest with a pistol. However, the bullet narrowly missed his heart, and Bozok did not succumb to his fatal wound until April 1941.
