The Sabancı family is a family of Turkish businesspeople founded by Hacı Ömer Sabancı, a wealthy trader. Some second and third generation members of the family control today a group of Turkish companies that were established mostly by the efforts of his son Sakıp Sabancı. After the death of Sakıp Sabancı, also known as Sakip Aga, in 2004, the granddaughter of the founder, Güler Sabancı, was chosen to run Sabancı Holding.

The Sabancı (and Koç) family, like many of today's Turkish entrepreneurs, benefited from the Armenian Genocide and the elimination of the Armenians and the Armenian competition by taking part in takeovers of old minority-run ventures, which were encouraged by the government and which led to the creation of a new Turkish Bourgeoisie.
