Mangʻit (, Манғит; , Маңғыт; ) is the seat of Amudaryo District in the autonomous republic of Karakalpakstan within Uzbekistan. It is located on the border with Turkmenistan, about northeast of the Turkmen town of Gubadag and about west of the Amu Darya river. It is southeast of Nukus, the Karakalpak capital. Its population is 33,200 (2016).
==History== Mangʻit was the site of battles during the Russian army's Khivan campaign of 1873. The first battle was slightly north of Mangʻit in the morning of 20 May 1873 when Russian troops advancing south under General Nikolai Aleksandrovich Veryovkin were attacked Yomut Turkmen forces. After several fierce skirmishes, the Russians drove off the Turkmen cavalry, which retreated toward Mangʻit. Russian forces entered Mangʻit at 3 p.m. that day to find that the Yomuts had left. Russian troops did kill several Uzbek inhabitants who had remained and fired upon the invading force from the windows of houses in the town.
