Erol Togay (1 February 1950 – 9 August 2012) was a Turkish footballer and manager. A defender renowned for his heading ability, he was nicknamed "Kafacı Erol" during his playing days. He began his career at Vefa (1968-1972), moved on to Altay (1972-1978) and transferred to Fenerbahçe in 1978, where he played in central defence, before spending his last two seasons (1981-1984) at Adana Demirspor and retiring. He was called up to the national side 20 times in all, once for the Turkey under-21 team and 19 times for the senior side, including five appearances in the qualifying campaign for the 1978 FIFA World Cup.
