Varol Akman (born 8 Jun 1957, Antalya, Turkey) professor of Computer Engineering and chairperson of the Philosophy Department at Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey.

Varol Akman is an interesting and influential figure in the development of analytic philosophy in Turkey. Though he comes from an engineering background, he was the main author of the foundation of Bilkent University Philosophy Department in 2002, which is one of the first analytic philosophy departments in the history of Turkish Republic, and the only surviving analytic institution at present. Since the previous attempts to establish a firm tradition of analytic philosophy have arguably failed in Turkey (Bogazici University and Metu Philosophy Departments, 1982), Varol Akman concentrated his efforts on preserving the analytic spirit within the department by hiring only foreign professors and strictly implementing the model of the Ivy League universities in the US. The B.A. program founded by him is expected to give first graduates by the end of 2006-2007 academic year.
