Kulak is a neighbourhood in the Tarsus district of Mersin Province, Turkey. Its population is 987 (2022). It is in Çukurova (Cilicia of the antiquity) and to the south of Tarsus. It is situated to the north of the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and west of Berdan River. Its distance to Tarsus is 17 kilometres (11 mi) and its distance to Mersin is 40 kilometres (25 mi).
