Daquq (Arabic: داقوق, romanized: Dāqūq, [1] alternatively Ṭawūq or Ṭa’ūq,[2] Turkish: Dakuk or Tavuk,[3][4] Kurdish: داقووق, romanized: Daqûq,[5][6]), also known as Daqouq,[7] is the central town of Daquq District in Kirkuk Governorate, Iraq. The town has a Kurdish and Turkmen majority,[8][9] and Arab minority.[10] It is part of the disputed territories of Northern Iraq.[11] The town is a major agricultural area.[12]

Finally, Kirkuk's three remaining major urban centers outside of Hawija—namely, Dibis center, Daquq center, and Kirkuk center—generally returned Kurdish majorities, albeit in the 50 percent to 60 percent range in 2010, indicating that they are not only geographically, but also politically, in between the southwest and northeast of the province.
The result of Kurdish demographic policies in Daquq is that Kurds and Turkmens are almost in a 50% to 50% proportion.
