Khanbogd (Mongolian: Ханбогд) is a sum (district) of Ömnögovi Province in southern Mongolia. Khanbogd is the site of the Oyu Tolgoi mine, which is 40 kilometres (25 mi) from the sum centre.^[1]

Khanbogd is also home to Demchigiin Khiid (Mongolian: Дэмчигййн Хийдийн), a monastery built by Danzan Ravjaa. The monastery was destroyed in 1937, but has since been rebuilt by funds from the company that operates the Oyu Tolgoi mine.^[1]

The Khanbumbat Airport, located in Khanbogd, opened in February 2013.
