Yesim Servet Uzunlar, known as Servet Uzunlar, (born 8 March 1989) is an Australian soccer player who last played for Sydney FC in the Australian W-League.

She was born in 1989 in Sydney to Turkish Australians Nilgun and Bulant Uzunlar.

Uzunlar played junior football for North Sutherland Rockets. The club now presents an annual award in her name to junior girls players who have improved their game over the year.

Uzunlar played for NSW Sapphires in the Women's National Soccer League (WNSL) in 2004.

Ahead of the 2008–09 W-League season, Uzunlar joined Sydney FC.

Uzunlar signed for Californian team Pali Blues for the 2012 USL W-League season.

In October 2012, Uzunlar moved to Western Sydney Wanderers.

After an ill-fated spell in Korea with Chungbuk Sportstoto, Uzunlar retired from football in 2013 at the age of 25. After a year out of the sport, she rejoined Sydney FC with the aim of playing in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.

In October 2017, it was confirmed that Sydney FC had not re-signed Uzunlar for the 2017–18 W-League season.

Uzunlar was a member of the Australian squads that played at the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship and the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. She made her senior debut for Australia in 2008, in a 5–0 loss to China.
