Khulm, formerly known as Tashkurgan or Tash-Kurgan, is a town in northern Afghanistan. It is slightly to the south of the ruins of the ancient town of Aornos, destroyed in the mid 16th century.

It is famous for its covered market, and is a centre for trading in sheep and wool.

See Tashkurgan for the town of that name on the Silk Road in western China.
