Daroot-Korgon (also 'Darautkorgon' or 'Daroot-Qurghan') is a town in the western Alay Valley of Osh Province, Kyrgyzstan. It is the capital of Chong-Alay District. It is about 90 km west of Sary-Tash on the Kyzyl-Suu River. To the north is a route to Osh used by Russian explorers before the construction of the road though Sary-Tash.

To the south, the Altyn River flows north though a deep valley in the Trans-Alay Range. At the head of the valley is a Tajik border post and then Altyn Mazar on the Muksu River which flows west to join the Kyzyl-Suu. South of this is the foot of the Fedchenko Glacier.

The village of Kara-Shivak is 2 miles (4 km) to the south, and Kara-Su, Osh is 3 miles (4 km) to the east.
