Khongor (Mongolian: , soft or sweetheart) is a sum (district) of

Darkhan-Uul Province in northern Mongolia. The sum center has railway

station on the Ulan-Ude - Ulan Bator - Beijing line. The most important railway
station is 13 km S from sum center, where at Salkhit settlement Salkhit Erdenet line starts.

In 2007, Khongor was the scene of an apparently massive contamination case

that involved sodium cyanide and mercury compounds, materials used for
small-scale gold mining. The case aroused considerable attention in the
national media, and it was even discussed to relocate the settlement.
