Gazojak (also Gazochak, ) is a city located in Darganata District, Lebap Province, Turkmenistan. It serves as a border crossing to Uzbekistan, situated opposite the Pitnyak rail customs point and the Druzhba motor road customs point on the Uzbek side.
==Etymology== The local economy revolves around the natural gas industry — hence, the name gaz ojak, meaning "gas furnace", a form of which, Gazachak or Gaz-Achak, it received in 1967. Before that, the settlement was called Jürränyň oýy, "Jürrä's Thought", Jürrä being a masculine name.
