Gubadag is a city in Gubadag District in Daşoguz Province of Turkmenistan. Gubadag is known for its special round meat pie, known as fitchi (; ). The city is located on the border with Karakalpakstan (Uzbekistan), near Mang‘it.
Until December 1938 the city was named Täzä-Kala ()(). From 1938 until 1949 it was called Town Named for Thälmann (), a russification of the last name of Ernst Thälmann (1886-1944), a German Communist involved in the international communist movement. In 1949 this was abbreviated to Telmansk (). The name was changed to Gubadag in 1993 by Presidential Decree No. 1327.
