The Western Turkic Khaganate or Onoq Khaganate (Chinese: 西突厥; pinyin: Xi tūjué) was a Turkic khaganate formed as a result of the wars in the beginning of the 7th century (593 – 603 AD) after the split of the Göktürk Khaganate (founded in the 6th century in Mongolia by the Ashina clan) into the Western khaganate and the Eastern Turkic Khaganate.

At its height, the Western Turkic Khaganate included the later areas of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

The ruling elite of the Western Turkic Khaganate were the Onogurs – an oğuz (literally "arrow"), a subdivision of the Turkic tribes. The name of the Onugurs is derived from the proto-Turkic Onoq ("ten arrows").
