Türkmengala is a city and capital of Türkmengala District, Mary Region, Turkmenistan. In 2022, it had a population of 16,696 people.
==Etymology== The name means "Turkmen fortress". Atanyyazow suggests that the settlement received this name in the 17th or 18th century due to the numerous battles between Turkmen tribes on the one hand and the Kajar (Kyzylbash) tribe on the other.
