Selçuk Inan (born 10 February 1985) is a Turkish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Süper Lig side Galatasaray S.K. and the Turkey national team.

Inan was born in Iskenderun on 10 February 1985. By the age of 14, he was spotted by scouting agents and immediately signed by one of the local clubs, Karaagaçspor. His multidimensonal style of play and unique footballing mind were soon to be discovered by Dardanel Spor. At professional level, Inan scored his first goal in a league game against Antalyaspor on 1 December 2002, when he was only 17.

Inan began his career as a 14-year-old for Karaagaçspor. He signed for Dardanel Spor in 2000, when he played until his departure to Manisaspor in 2005. Trabzonspor signed Inan in 2008, where he played for three seasons.

He scored two goals against Ankaraspor in his first Süper Lig game at Trabzonspor, then also scored Trabzonspor's 2,000th league goal in a game against Istanbul BB on 1 November 2008. He had formed a prolific partnership with strikers Umut Bulut and Burak Yilmaz, the latter a former teammate of Inan at Manisaspor). During Inan's services, Trabzonspor had its most successful two seasons of the decade, most notably finishing as the runners-up in the 2010-11 Süper Lig season.

Inan agreed to a five-year deal on a free transfer with Galatasaray S.K. on 25 May 2011. He quickly took over the Galatasaray S.K. midfield from the day he stepped foot in Türk Telekom Arena. Partnering up with Brazilian midfielder Felipe Melo, Inan began to manifest his exceptional skills which helped Galatasaray S.K. to gain a higher level of offensive and defensive state of play. Inan, being a fan favourite at Galatasaray S.K., received the a nickname called "Xelçuk", a play on words after Spanish midfielder Xavi Hernández.

During his first month, the fledgling Galatasaray S.K. chairman Ünal Aysal's first task was to bring in Inan to the team. Although the previous Galatasaray S.K. board which was run by Adnan Polat already had an agreement with Trabzonspor in the Selçuk Inan case during the 2010-11 season, it was the new board that brought in the player for free as Inan's contract with Trabzonspor was over.

After the first four games of the new season, Galatasaray S.K. had two wins, one draw and one loss, which did not seem highly promising to the fans, although there was a remarkable sense of change in the team, especially in the midfield area.
