The Kızlaç Tunnel (Turkish: Kızlaç Tüneli), is a motorway tunnel constructed on the Adana–Şanlıurfa motorway O-52 E 90 AH84 in Osmaniye Province, southern Turkey.

It is situated on the Taurus Mountains near Kızlaç village of Bahçe, Osmaniye. The 2,851 and 2,819 m (9,354 and 9,249 ft)-long twin-tube tunnel carrying three lanes of traffic in each direction is flanked by 596–596 m (1,955–1,955 ft)-long Ayran Tunnel in the west and 1,230–1,225 m (4,035–4,019 ft)-long Aslanlı Tunnel in the east on the same motorway.[1] Dangerous goods carriers are not permitted to use the tunnel.[2]

The tunnel was constructed by Tekfen in New Austrian Tunnelling method (NATM).[1][3]
