Mehmet Yıldız (born September 14, 1981 in Yozgat, Turkey) is a Turkish football player. He currently plays striker for Sivasspor in the Turkcell Super League.

He began his career at amateur team Tigemspor where he first caught the eye of Ahmet Ertem, Sivasspor's youth coach, during this time many players were brought from Tigemspor to join Sivasspor.

Mehmet spent much time being loaned out from Sivasspor and also being sold a couple of times too. Firstly was his loan spell at Çarşambaspor where he played only a handful of games. He then returned to Sivasspor to become a prominent member of the team. In 2003 Mehemt was sold onto Antalyaspor where his career never hit the same heights as while at Sivasspor. The same happened again when he was sold to Türk Telekomspor the following season.

Mehmet joined Sivasspor for the third time in his career in 2006 playing 32 times but didn't perfrom well enough to guarantee him a first team spot the following season where he was loaned to Ístanbulspor. Luckily his spell at Ístanbulspor did him the great of good putting in some fanatstic performances and gaining man plaudits in the Superlig. His dazzling performances lead Sivasspor to recall him to the first team where he has become club captain and a regular goal scorer for the Kırmızı-Beyaz with near a 1:1 ratio of goals per game.
