thumb|A gate marking the boundary of Khujirt. thumb|Khujirt Cultural Center Khujirt () is a sum (district) of Övörkhangai Province in central Mongolia.

Established in 1931 under the name of Khaluun-Us under the jurisdiction of Arkhangai Province, it was transferred to its current province and renamed to Khujirt in 1934. Situated at around 380 km from Ulaanbaatar, the district varies in altitude from 1700m to 2360m. While there have been significant developments in both small industries and the tourism sector, 37.9% of households still rely on herding. The town also features a school, a hospital, and several kindergartens.
