Surkotada is a small, 3.5-acre site located in the Kutch district of Gujarat. It is one of the few Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) sites located outside of the Indus River Valley. The site was discovered in 1964 and excavated by the Archaeological Survey of India.

Surkotada was occupied during the Mature Harappan period (2600-1900 BCE).
