Chorbat Valley (Urdu: وادی چھوربٹ, Balti: ཆོར་བད, romanized: chor bad) is a section of the Shyok River Valley divided between Pakistan-administered Gilgit-Baltistan and Indian-administered Ladakh. The Pakistan-administered portion is in the Khaplu tehsil of Ghanche district in Gilgit-Baltistan, and the Indian-administered portion is in the Nubra tehsil of Leh district in Ladakh. Chorbat traditionally stretches from the edge of Khaplu to the Chalunka village of Nubra.

The Khan of Chorbat moved his capital from Siksa (originally named Chorbat) to Turtuk in the 18th century. These two villages (now in Pakistan and India respectively) are the largest villages of the Chorbat region.
