Chüy (Kyrgyz: Чүй, Russian: Чуй) is a village (Russian: село) in the Chuy Region of Kyrgyzstan. Its population was 11,535 in 2009. It is adjacent to the former regional capital, the city of Tokmok, and is the administrative center of the Chuy District (one of the 8 administrative districts of the Chuy Region), which surrounds Tokmok.
