Kyōtango (京丹後市, Kyōtango-shi^?, population 67,000) is a city in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. It was formed on April 1, 2004 by the merger of the towns of Mineyama and Omiya, both from Naka District, the towns of Amino, Tango and Yasaka, all from Takeno District, and the town of Kumihama, from Kumano District. Naka, Takeno and Kumano Districts were dissolved as a result of the merger.

Located on the coast of the Sea of Japan on the western side of the Tango Peninsula in the northwestern corner of the prefecture, the new city has its city hall in the former town hall of Mineyama.

Mineyama, now part of Kyōtango, has a close connection with the Hagoromo legend.

The Kumihama area is well known for its many hot springs, while Amino is one of the major producers of the Tango Chirimen.
