Chortoq is a city in Namangan Region, Uzbekistan, and the administrative center of Chortoq District. It lies in the northern part of the Ferghana Valley in eastern Uzbekistan, and its population is given as 53,400 in 2016. The name means four hills, from the Persian word for four and the Turkic word for hill or mountain, and refers to four artificially created hills in the city that once served for military defence and warning. It received town status in 1976 and is known from the 2nd century. Uzbekistan is a doubly landlocked country in Central Asia, so Chortoq has no coast.
