Uğur Uçar is a Turkish right back who came through the Galatasaray academy and shared in Süper Lig titles, and who moved into coaching after his playing days. He has been head coach of Çorum FK since February 17, 2026.

His football began in Galatasaray's youth teams. He reached the first team in 2004 and in his early seasons took part in a Turkish Cup win and the 2005-06 Süper Lig title. In 2006-07 he was loaned to Kayserispor, where he played 22 matches. Back at Galatasaray he became the first-choice right back in 2007-08, a title-winning season that also saw the 2008 Super Cup. A knee injury in February 2008, in a match against Konyaspor, kept him out for about 15 months, and he returned in May 2009 against Sivasspor. His career then took him to Ankaragücü (2010), Kardemir Karabükspor (39 league matches in two and a half seasons) and, in 2014, İstanbul Başakşehir, with whom he won the 2019-20 Süper Lig; he later played for Pendikspor, winning the 2. Lig in 2021-22. He played for the under-21 national side for three years and was called up to Turkey's A2 squad. In 2012 he made a guest appearance in an episode of the series İşler Güçler.

As a coach he worked as an assistant at Pendikspor and Eyüpspor. In March 2025 he took charge of Pendikspor, and his contract was extended in January 2026. After moving to Çorum FK he oversaw the rebuilding of the squad in summer 2026.
