Kızılpınar is a former town in Çerkezköy district of Tekirdağ Province, Turkey. Before the 2013 reorganisation, it was a town (belde).[1][2] It is subdivided into three mahalle: Atatürk, Gültepe and Namık Kemal.[3] It lies directly to the southwest Çerkezköy. Distance to Tekirdağ is about 55 kilometres (34 mi). The population of Kızılpınar is 54,268 (2022).[4] The town was founded by Muslim refugees from Bulgaria during the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878).
