Kattakurgan (Uzbek: Каттақўрғон, Kattaqoʻrgʻon) is a city in the Samarqand Region of Uzbekistan.

[citation needed] The town does not appear to be of any great antiquity, although after Alexander the Great's ransacking of Marakanda (Samarkand), the center of cultural life in that part of the Zeravshan valley may briefly have shifted west to the region around Katta-Kurgan.

Pospelov, a fortress was built on the current site by the local saint Sufi Allahyar and his two brothers, Farhat-Atalyk and Allah-Nazar-bii, in 1684, and the town subsequently grew up around it.

Modern Kattakurgan (its oldest part is the "old city") was founded in the last quarter of the 17th century (1683-1684).

In 1924 both entities were dissolved by the Soviet regime, and Katta-Kurgan was incorporated in the new Uzbek SSR.
