Citgo Petroleum Corporation, or Citgo (stylized as CITGO), is a U.S.-located downstream petroleum company that has existed since 1983.

Headquartered in the Energy Corridor area of Houston, it is majority-owned by PDVSA, a state-owned company of the Venezuelan government (although due to U.S. sanctions in 2019, they no longer from Citgo).
