Chhagalnaiya is a town in Feni District of Chittagong Division, Bangladesh, and the administrative headquarters and urban centre of Chhagalnaiya Upazila. It is the largest urban area in the upazila and the second most populous in the district, about 14.6 kilometres from the district seat Feni and 96.6 kilometres from the divisional headquarters at Chittagong. The town is governed by Chhagalnaiya Municipality (paurashava), which divides it into 9 wards, and the 2011 census counted about 48,243 people. One local account traces the name to sagarer naiya, Bengali for boatmen of the sea, rather than to the Bengali word for goat. The town is the road transport hub of the upazila, linked to Feni by a district road and to the Dhaka-Chittagong Highway through Muhuriganj. Its average elevation is about 8 metres.
