Daşoguz Region (Template:Langx, formerly Daşhowuz) is one of the regions of Turkmenistan. It is in the north of the country, bordering Uzbekistan. The area of the province is 73,430 square kilometers, and the total population is 1,550,354 (2022 census).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=yb2005>Statistical Yearbook of Turkmenistan 2000-2004, National Institute of State Statistics and Information of Turkmenistan, Ashgabat, 2005.</ref> The capital is Daşoguz.
