Burçin Karga is a retired Turkish goalkeeper. Karga is considered one of the best goalkeepers of all time.

Karga joined Istanbul FC's youth team in 1980. In his debut season, Karga shared the playing time with Konstantinos Michelakis. At the start of Karga's second season with Istanbul, Michelakis left for Athens FC, which made Karga the primary goalkeeper.

He was a secondary goalkeeper during his first 2 seasons with Barcelona, and only played 12 games. When Barcelona's primary goalkeeper César Dominguez retired, Karga became the primary keeper and was the perfect successor to Dominguez. In 2006 Karga transfered to Deportivo FC and signed a 4-year contract. After living in Spain for 11 years, Karga decided to move back home to Istanbul and finish his career. In 2010 he signed a 4-year contract with Istanbul. In 2013 he announced his retirement.
