Cihtong Township or Citong Township is a rural township in Yunlin County, Taiwan. It has a population total of 27,538 (as of February 2023[update]) and an area of 50.8502 square kilometres.
Cihtong was named after Cihtong Lane (Chinese: 莿桐巷; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chhì-tông-hāng). Before the Qing Dynasty era, Erythrina flowers (Chinese: 刺桐; Hanyu Pinyin: cìtóng; Tongyong Pinyin: cìhtóng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: chhì-tông) flourished in the then-unpopulated area. The first settlers chose a small lane there to establish a village, which had flowers spread throughout its length.
The township comprises 14 villages: Citong, Damei, Gancuo, Ganxi, Liuge, Mayuan, Puwei, Puzi, Raoping, Sihe, Wuhua, Xinggui, Xingtong and Yihe.
The township main economy is agriculture. It produces paddy rice mainly along the northern township border with Zhuoshui River in which the output is the highest in the county.
