Onur Karakabak is a footballer from Zonguldak who came through Fenerbahçe's youth system and went on to a long career with clubs across Anatolia. Early on he was described as Roberto Carlos's "heir," which brought him attention at a young age; in recent years he captained Şanlıurfaspor and moved to Kırklarelispor in the summer of 2026.

He started out at Çaycumaspor, developed in the youth ranks at Sakaryaspor, scored 5 goals in 19 matches in the 2007-2008 youth league and signed a professional contract there. In January 2009 he joined Fenerbahçe together with Furkan Aydın on a three-year deal, but under the terms agreed between the clubs spent the rest of that season at Sakaryaspor in the First League. He wore number 67 in the Fenerbahçe squad, was included in manager Aykut Kocaman's summer camp squad in June 2010, and the 2009 Super Cup is listed among his honors. He was then loaned to Mersin İdmanyurdu, Manisaspor and Samsunspor. For Turkey's youth teams he made 36 appearances from U-15 to U-17 played in FIFA U-17 World Cup matches and also featured for the U-19 side in 2010.

After Fenerbahçe he played at Bandırmaspor and then, from December 2017, at Nazilli Belediyespor. In later years he captained Amedspor, moved on to Kepez Belediyespor, and wore the captain's armband at Şanlıurfaspor in the Second League promotion race.
