Neftchala (Azerbaijani: Neftçala) is a city and the capital of the Neftchala District of Azerbaijan.

The origin of the city name is Persian ("naft" meaning oil or petroleum) and Azerbaijani ("çala" meaning trench), meaning oil trench.

Throughout its history, Neftçala has suffered from floods because of its proximity to the river and most of the town's relatively low elevation.

Today, there is a palace of culture, a regional study museum and gallery museum in the city.

The city lies southwest of the delta of the Kura River. It is a lowland district.
