Yakup Satar (Ottoman Turkish: ﻳﻜﻮﭗ ﺳﺘﺎﺮ, March 11, 1898 – April 2, 2008) is believed to have been the last Turkish veteran of the First World War. He died at age 110.

Born in Crimea, Satar joined the army of the Ottoman Empire in 1915. On February 23 1917, he was taken prisoner by the British in the Baghdad campaign's Second Battle of Kut. Freed after the end of the war [ [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/obituaries/article3676439.ece Times obituary] ] , Satar then served in the forces of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in the Turkish War of Independence, which lasted from 1919 to 1923.

Shortly before his 110th birthday, he was treated for a minor infection at a military hospital before being released home, where he lived with his daughter in the Hacı Seyit district of Eskişehir.
