Aqcha or Akcha (Persian spelling: آقچه), is a city in northern Afghanistan.

The population of the town is around 1,012,000 people, the majority of which consists mostly of ethnic Turkmens and Uzbeks.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Aqcha belonged to Bukhara under Shah Murad, but in 1855 it was recovered by Dost Mohammad Khan, when it became a khanate within the province of Afghan Turkestan.

[3] At the beginning of the 20th century, it was protected by a mud wall and a citadel, with an estimated population of 8000 people, chiefly Uzbeks.

[4] The rivers rising in the southern mountains, which no longer reach the Amu Darya, terminate in vast swamps near Akcha, and the debris of yearly vegetation that springs up on the slopes of the southern hills is washed down into the swamps during floods.
