Çaldıran (Kurdish: Ebex, Armenian: Աբաղա, romanized: Abaġa) is a municipality and district of Van Province, Turkey. Its area is 1,478 km, and its population is 58,635 (2022).
As mayor Leyla Atsak from the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) was elected in the local elections of March 2019. However Leyla Atsak was barred from holding office by the Supreme Election Board (YSK), despite being approved as a candidate by the YSK before the elections due to have being dismissed from public office in the past. Şefık Ensari from the Justice and Development Party (AKP) who came in second in the elections was given the mayorship instead. Hasan Hüsnü Türker became the kaymakam in August 2021.
