Kırıkhan is a town and district in the northeastern part of Hatay Province, Turkey. The name "Kırıkhan" means “broken inn” in the Turkish language, perhaps a reference to one of the many lodgings that once lined the road. The town stands at the intersection of the route between İskenderun and Aleppo, and the major east-west road between Antakya and Kahramanmaraş.

The town was once part of the district of Belen, but became a district in its own right in 1923 at the time of the French Mandate. On 23 June 1939, Kırıkhan joined Turkey as part of Hatay.

It has 687.73 km² acreage, 32.3°C of average summer temperature and 7.31°C of average winter temperature.
