Kyle Turley (born September 24, 1975 in Provo, UT) is an American football offensive lineman who has played for the New Orleans Saints and the St. Louis Rams. He played college football at San Diego State University.

Turley's stormy and controversial career was interrupted in 2004 by a back injury that necessitated surgery. While rehabbing and on injured reserve list, Turley reportedly clashed with Rams head coach Mike Martz. The incident had to be investigated by league security as Martz contended that Turley 'threatened to kill him', a charge that would later be vehmently denied by Turley.

Another incident that Turley is widely remembered for occurred on November 4, 2001 in the Louisiana Superdome. The Saints were trailing the New York Jets 16-9 late in the fourth quarter, but were driving deep into opposiiton territory. After a scramble, quarterback Aaron Brooks was tackled at the six yard line and was roughed up by Jets defender Damien Robinson. Turley emerged from the ensuing scrum with Robinson's helmet and proceeded to fling it across the field before giving an obscene gesture. Turley was ejected from the game and was also accessed a personal foul penalty, costing the Saints any chance at tying the game.

Turley continues to rehab in hopes to returning to the NFL, possibly as a defensive player where he would be allowed to play at a lighter weight, which would relieve pressure on his back. Turley still lives in the Southern California region and is also known to be an avid surfer.
