The Khotgoid (Mongolian: Хотгойд) are a Mongolian tribe (Mongolian: yastan) in northwestern Mongolia. They live roughly between Uvs Nuur to the west and the Delgermörön river to the east.
They moved into the area in the 16th century. In 1694, they were organized into the Zasagt Khan aimag's Erdenedüüregch vangiin khoshuu. After Chingünjav's rebellion, this khoshuu was split up into five smaller entities: Erdene düüregch vangiin khoshuu, Akhai beisiin khoshuu, Mergen günii khoshuu, Dalai günii khoshuu, and Tsogtoo vangiin khoshuu.
The Khotgoid have become increasingly Khalkha-ized since the 16th century, and now there is little to differentiate them from Khalkha Mongolians, language- and customwise.
The most famous Khotgoid is probably Chingünjav (mentioned above).
