is a town located in Nakagami District, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. Although the Japanese kanji for the city's name are normally read , the ki phoneme in Japanese becomes chi in Okinawan, so Kitatani became Chitatani then Chatani and finally Chatan. Also unfamiliar in standard Japanese is that the tan syllable of Chatan is emphasized in the local dialect, although many outside of Okinawa place emphasis on cha instead.
