Qorakoʻl also spelled as Karakul (Uzbek: Qorakoʻl/Қоракўл, قره کۉل; Russian: Каракуль) is a city in the Bukhara Region of Uzbekistan. It is the capital of Qorakoʻl District (Qorakoʻl tumani). Its population is 22,300 (2016).

"Qorakoʻl" means "black lake" (< qora 'black' + ko'l 'lake') in Uzbek language. The Turkic name of Lake Karakul in this area has been known since the beginning of the 8th century.

The status of the city was granted in 1980. Previously it had been an urban-type settlement.
