Cenk Gönen (born 21 February 1988) is a Turkish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for TFF Third League club Çorluspor.

After a season with Denizlispor in the 2006–07 season, he secured a first-team place as a goalkeeper. In the 2007–08 season, he was given the number 1 squad number.[2] After an impressive season with Denizlispor, Cenk was transferred to Turkish giants Beşiktaş for €1 million, plus a player in exchange.[3] He signed a five-year contract with the club, shortly after the arrival of Hakan Arıkan.[3]

On 22 February 2014, during a game against Galatasaray which ended 1–0 for Galatasaray, Cenk fell unconscious after colliding with teammate Pedro Franco in an attempt to dive for the ball.

Cenk is the nephew of Ali Artuner, who was also a goalkeeper for the Turkey national team.[4]
