Kuytun (Uyghur: كۈيتۇن) or Kuitun (Chinese: 奎屯) is a county-level city with about 285,000 residents (2000 census) in Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, China. Kuitun is located between Wusu and Shihezi on the railway from Ürümqi to Kazakhstan, close to a desert.

Kuytun has historically been associated with the 7th Xinjiang Agriculture Construction Division (兵团第七师), which ran the city until 1975 but still administers its Tianbei New Area.

Local industries include food processing and textile industries, as well as Kuitun Power Plant.
