Naharkatia (previously spelt as Naharkatiya or Nahorkatiya) is a town and a Municipal board in Dibrugarh district in the Indian state of Assam.

Earlier, Duliajan, the head office town of Oil India Limited was in its circle.

The idol of the goddess Durga is worshiped and the town is decorated with lights and pandals.

The monastery is a tourist attraction and is considered to be meditation center in a serene atmosphere.

Sasoni Gojpuria, Gabhoru Dolong, Merbill Echo-Tourism,[5] and Namphake are villages a few kilometres away.

This Kalia alias Kola Chaodang was finally settled near today's Naharkatia Railway Station and from this episode, the area became Nahakatia.

Nahar+katiya, i.e., the person who cut or beheaded Nahar at the instance of Tai-Ahom king Siukhampha settled there.

Burmese General Mingimaha Tilwa traveled this route to Mung-dun-chun-kham in the early part of the 19th century.

Near Naharkatiya, historical Tipam, Jaypur and Namrup (derived from Namruk) rests.

Buses run frequently to and from Duliajan, Namrup, Tinsukia, Dibrugarh, Moran, Guwahati, Jorhat and Sibsagar.
