İnce Memed is a series of four epic novels written by the Turkish novelist Yaşar Kemal. The novels follow the life of Memed, the only son of a poor widow who escapes from his village in the Anatolian landowners and transforms himself into a legendary, Robin Hood-like figure, championing the landless peasants of Anatolia in their struggle against their corrupt and greedy landowners.

İnce Memed (1955), the first novel in the tetralogy,[1] was Kemal's first published novel. Subsequent volumes of the İnce Memed saga were published in 1969, 1984 and 1987.

The main character is thought to be loosely based on a real historical bandit named "Safiye Memed".

The first novel adapted into a feature-length movie named as Memed, My Hawk in 1984 by director Peter Ustinov.[2][3]
