The Haji Bektash Veli Complex, known in Turkish as Hacıbektaş Külliyesi, is an Alevi religious site in Hacıbektaş, Nevşehir Province, central Anatolia. It was built as a teqe (dergâh) of the Sufi saint Haji Bektash Veli, and his mausoleum was later constructed there after his death. Before Turkey's secularization in 1925, the complex housed the pir evi, the international headquarters of the Bektashi Order. It holds tentative World Heritage Site status.
