The Assyrian rebellion (Turkish: Nasturi Ayaklanması, "Nestorian Uprising") was an uprising by the Assyrians in Hakkari which was administered by Assyrians at the time. It began in July 1924 and ended on 28 September that same year. This was the first rebellion in the newly formed Republic of Turkey. After the rebellion ended, 8,000 Assyrians were deported into Mandatory Iraq.

(Another rebellion by the Assyrian community had taken place in 3–4 September 1924.)
