Cumalıkızık is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Yıldırım, Bursa Province in Turkey. Its population is 707 (2022). It is 10 kilometers east of the city of Bursa, at the foot of Mount Uludağ. The village is now included within the border of the Yıldırım district as a neighbourhood.
Cumalıkızık was founded as a vakıf village in honor of Ottoman Sultan Orhan Gazi. The historical texture of the village has been well protected and the civilian countryside architectural structures of the early Ottoman period are still intact. For instance, no motorized vehicles are allowed in the town. Because of these efforts, Cumalıkızık has become a popular but still unspoiled center for tourists. During the high season, the village sees as many as 50,000 visitors a week.
