Kogalym is a town in Russia, in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra. It is located in the Surgut District of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Tyumen Region, Russia, between the Inguyagun and Kirill-Vysyagun rivers. The area of the city is 20.5 km². Population is 61.4 thousand people (2021).
The foundation of the town is related to the discovery of the Povkhovskoye, Vatyoganskoye and Tevlinsko-Russkinskoye oil fields in Western Siberia in 1971. In 1975, the builders of the Surgut-Korotchaevo railroad landed in the area of the settlement; on August 31 of 1976, the settlement received its official name - Kogalymsky, and already in 1978, the first ton of oil was produced.
