thumb|Baganuur coal mine 1970-1980s pin badge. Baganuur (, , Little Lake) is one of nine düüregs (districts) of the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar. It is subdivided into five khoroos (subdistricts).
Baganuur is a remote district and exclave covering 620 square kilometres (239 sq mi), situated on the border between Töv and Khentii aimags. Originally established as a Soviet military base for the 12th Motor Rifle Division, it later became the site of Mongolia’s largest open-pit coal mine. Baganuur is one of Mongolia's major industrial centers, particularly in coal production, and ranks among Mongolia’s ten largest cities. Efforts are ongoing to separate its administration from the capital and designate it as an independent city.
