Gürün () is a town in Sivas Province of Turkey. It is the seat of Gürün District. Its population is 10,657 (2022).
== History == The settlement identified as Tergarma by the Assyrians on the eastern border of Tabal, and as Togarmah in the Book of Genesis, is associated with modern-day Gürün. Rock-cut caves located within the Şuğul quarter of Gürün, together with the Hieroglyphic Luwian inscriptions in the Şuğul Canyon, indicate that these structures likely date to the Hittite period in the 2nd millennium BCE.
