Eğrigöz is a village in Emet District of Kütahya Province, Turkey. As of 2022, its population is 172. Eğrigöz is known for its old fortress, which is on a hill just east of the village. It was also a district capital under Ottoman rule in the early modern period.

== Geography == The village of Eğrigöz is located just west of the Emet Çayı stream, on a saddle-like landform connecting two rocky hills. The western hill is a cone-shaped rocky outcrop, while immediately above the village on the east is a steep rocky hill topped by a small plateau. On this plateau is the old fortress. Below the plateau is a rocky shelf that drops off sharply on the north, south, and east sides, making the fortress only accessible from the west side. The Emet Çayı flows below the east side of this hill.
