Chimgi-Tura - was a medieval city of Siberian Tatars in 12th-16th centuries located in Western Siberia.

It was a capital of Tyumen Khanate until early 16th century when its ruler Khan Muhammad conquered Sibir and created Siberian Khanate encompassing the whole Western Siberia with a capital in Sibir.

After Cossack ataman Yermak form Muscovy conquered the Siberian Khanate in the 1580s the city of Chimgi-Tura was abandoned or burned. In 1586 Russian fort Tyumen was founded near Chimgi-Tura. Modern Tyumen, one of the centres of Russian oil industry, covers the site where Chimgi-Tura used to stand.
