Çiğli, Administrative district in İzmir, Turkey.

Çiğli extends across 139 square kilometers in the northwestern section of İzmir Province, positioned at the Gediz River mouth near the Gulf of İzmir.

The settlement emerged with Turkish refugees from the Russo-Turkish War in 1877, followed by migrations after earthquakes in eastern Anatolia during 1946 and 1966.

The Gediz delta within Çiğli hosts 205 bird species, including 63 permanent residents and 97 migratory species across summer and winter seasons.

The district contains 26 neighborhoods and the Izmir Atatürk Organized Industrial Zone, which operates 485 factories and employs 30,000 workers.

The name Çiğli derives from the Turkish word 'çiğ' meaning dew, referencing the historical delta marshes that covered the entire region.
