This study provides the first systematic and comprehensive mapping of peer-reviewed financial literacy research conducted in Turkey between 2011 and 2025. Following PRISMA guidelines and using the Rpackage bibliometrix, 25 articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science were identified and analysed. The findings indicate a gradual but steady increase in publication activity, an annual growth rate of 8.16%, predominantly domestic collaboration patterns, and limited international co-authorship. Keyword analysis reveals that Turkish research has largely focused on financial behaviour, financial education, and demographic determinants, while topics such as digital finance literacy and sustainable finance literacy remain underexplored. The results also confirm low financial literacy levels across several Turkish population groups, consistent with international comparative evidence. By providing a replicable bibliometric baseline, this study clarifies the thematic evolution of the field, identifies structural research gaps, and outlines policy-relevant directions for strengthening financial capability in Turkey.
