İkizdere (Laz: Xuras) is a town in Rize Province in the Black Sea region of Turkey. It is the seat of İkizdere District. Its population is 1,875 (2021).

Formerly known as Dipotamos and Kuray-ı Sab, İkizdere means "twin streams" in both the Pontic Greek and Turkish languages, and indeed the Çamlık and Cimil rivers meet here to form the İkizdere.

The non-Turkic natives converted to Islam during the Ottoman period and during the population exchange between Greece and Turkey, the natives stayed in the area.

The population pyramid of İkizdere (see below) is strongly biased towards the males and middle-age/elder people.

This is hilly countryside inland from the Black Sea, forest-covered steep mountainside separated by narrow valleys, with areas of high pasture. The İkizdere is formed from streams running out of the Rize Mountains and continues down to the Black Sea, it is dammed for hydro-electric power and for irrigation. There is snow on the high peaks and much glacial formation. The climate is typical of the Black Sea region i.e. it frequently rains. There is broad-leaf forest at lower elevations and pine higher up.

İkizdere is an agricultural district, growing tea on the hillsides and potatoes in the valley, and now some kiwi fruit are being planted also. Cattle and sheep are grazed on the hillsides, going up to the high pastures (yayla) in summer. Beekeeping is another important source of income, particularly in the village of Anzer. And this very attractive countryside is now attracting tourists, on trekking holidays. However, on the whole İkizdere is not a wealthy region and the younger generations migrate to Turkey's larger cities in search of jobs.

The town of İkizdere is on the river bank, 56 km (35 mi) from the city of Rize on the road to Erzurum.

See Rize Province for a history of this area, once part of the Byzantine Empire and later the Empire of Trebizond, during which periods there was a monastery there in İkizdere.

In 67 BCE, Pompey the Great led a Roman military campaign against the Heptakometes today's ikizderelian Ancestors in what is presently known as İkizdere in Turkey’s Rize province. According to the Roman historians who were traveling with the army, the Heptakometes were barbarians living in the İkizdere valley. They were familiar with the effects of mad honey and set out honey pots for the invading army to find. Most of the Roman soldiers consumed the honey and became intoxicated, then they were suddenly attacked and killed by the Heptakometes. Over 1800 Roman soldiers were killed during the attack. Mad honey was the world's first known biological weapon to be used in battle by Heptakomets.

İkizdere was occupied by Russia for two years during the First World War.
