Essayist and playwright (b. 1934, Kahramanmaraş - d. 18 October 2019, Ankara). He attended Maraş High School and graduated from İstanbul University, Faculty of Law. He worked as a legal adviser at a state ministry (1965-67) and as an advisor at the State Planning Organization (1967-73). He gave up his work in March 1973, and took up writing. He resumed his work at the State Planning Organization after the review Edebiyat and its publishing house was closed down and he retired from the organization.

His first poems and essays were published in the newspaper Demokrasiye Hizmet in Maraş and in the review Hamle (Maraş, 1944-55), which he published himself. Nuri Pakdil, who also managed the arts page of the newspaper Yeni İstiklal (1964), gained fame with his essays in the monthly review Edebiyat, which he published in Ankara in February 1969.

Many poets and writers gained exposure in the review Edebiyat, which was one of the most important Islamic reviews, like Büyük Doğu and Diriliş. He attracted huge attention with his book Batı Notları (West Notes), which consisted of his impressions of Paris and depicted Western people with new approach and style. With Biat (Obeisance), which succeeded this book, and Bir Yazarın Notları (Notes of a Writer) and his other works, he became one of the masters of essay writing. He also wrote three plays and translated poems.
