The Turkish army says nine Britons have been arrested after allegedly trying to illegally cross the border into Syria.
The arrests took place in the Hatay region of southern Turkey, it said.
The Foreign Office has said it is looking into the reports that they attempted to enter the conflict-hit country.
UK security services estimate several hundred Britons have gone to Syria or Iraq to join militant groups.
They including three teenage girls from east London, who are now believed to be in the Syrian city of Raqqa, an Islamic State stronghold.
The trio were last seen on CCTV at a bus station in Istanbul on 17 February.
Several terror suspects have been successfully captured in Turkey before they have managed to cross the border.
They include three teenage boys, who have since been arrested by the Metropolitan Police on suspicion of terrorism offences.
Syrian President Bashar al Assad has claimed jihadists who travel to his country to join IS are being "logistically and militarily" supported by Turkey on a daily basis.
He has accused his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, of ignoring would-be terrorists as they attempt to cross the border between the two nations.
Among the Britons in IS ranks are Mohammed Emwazi, also known as "Jihadi John", who has appeared in several beheading videos.
