The present invention relates to a coolant reflector for a turning tool and a turning tool including such coolant reflector. The turning tool includes a tool body including a front end, a rear end, a peripheral surface connecting the front end and the rear end, and a central axis extending from the front end to the rear end. The turning tool further includes a cutting insert or a seat for accommodating a cutting insert arranged in the tool body, and a coolant channel extending at least partly through the tool body for supplying coolant to the cutting insert, the coolant channel being in fluid communication with an exit opening in the tool body. The coolant reflector includes a reflecting structure arranged to receive coolant emerging from the exit opening in the tool body and reflect the coolant at least partly rearward and towards the cutting insert.
