"Now if this escalation goes on and nothing happens to solve the problem we might have in the end of the year a much larger number of refugees: twice or three times the present level," he told reporters in Ankara.
His warning came days after the UN announced that the number of Syrian refugees hit one million since the revolt erupted in their homeland two years ago.
A year ago, the UN agency had only registered 33,000 refugees, but the numbers escalated as the war intensified, sending waves of refugees into neighbouring countries.
Guterres is in Turkey to meet officials and discuss the situation of the more than 180,000 refugees who have taken shelter in several camps set up along Turkey-Syria border.
Ankara says the real number is much higher as at least 70,000 others live in houses they have rented elsewhere in Turkey.
