Lüleburgaz (Latin: Arcadiopolis) is a town in European Turkey. It has a population of 79,002 (2000 census) and is the largest town in Kırklareli Province.

Lüleburgaz is known for its sixteenth-century mosque and bridge, both named after the Grand Vizier Sokollu Mehmet Pasha and designed by the Ottoman chief architect Sinan.

The Battle of Arcadiopolis (970AD} saw Byzantine forces defeat an invading Russian force who were aiming to capture Byzantium (Istanbul), 100 miles to the east.

The Battle of Lule-Burgas (1912) was here in the First Balkan War.

Lüleburgaz is the seat of a Roman Catholic bishopric. Marcel Lefèbvre, who would later oppose the reforms of Vatican II, was bishop here in 1948.
