Chortoq ( — 4 hills) is a city in Namangan Region, Uzbekistan. It is the administrative center of Chortoq District.

== Etymology == The name "Chortoq" means "4 hills" (from the Persian "chor" - 4 and the Turkic "togh, toq" - hill, mountain), which indicates 4 artificially created hills (hills) in the city, which served at one time for military-defensive and warning purposes.
