Negotino (Macedonian: Неготино, pronounced [nɛˈɡɔtinɔ] ) is a town in North Macedonia, the seat of the Negotino Municipality. Its population is about 12,500.

Negotino is located on the right side of the river Vardar.

It is about 150 metres (490 ft) above sea level.

Negotino is in a vineyard region and the gates of the Tikveš plain, known for its fertility, are located nearby. Along with Kavadarci, Negotino is known as the home of North Macedonia's best wine and rakija (brandy).

The A1 highway leads through the city, parallel to the railway line connecting Skopje-Gevgelija-Greece.

The most common grape types are Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Traminec, Smederevka, Muscat, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Plavac Mali, Vranec and Kadarka.
