Tuzlucа (Armenian: Կողբ; Russian: Когб; Kurdish: Elîdizk; formerly known as Koghb, Kulp, and Goghb) is a town and district of Iğdır Province in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey. Part of the district forms the international border between Turkey and Armenia.

The town was later renamed Tuzluca, Tuz meaning salt in Turkish. The Turkish name is derived from the salt mines that have existed here since at least medieval times; a salt mine still operates.
Today, Tuzluca serves as a highland retreat for asthma patients. Apricots and other fruit and vegetables are grown in the district.
