Golmud, sometimes spelled Ge'ermu or Geermu (Mongolian: Голмуд, meaning "Rivers" in local Western Mongolian dialect; simplified Chinese: 格尔木; traditional Chinese: 格爾木; pinyin: Gé'ěrmù; Wade–Giles: Koerhmu; Tibetan: ན་གོར་མོ་; Wylie: Na-gor-mo) is a county-level city of Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province, China. It is the second largest city in Qinghai and the third largest in the Tibetan Plateau (after Xining and Lhasa). The population is now about 205,700.

Golmud covers a total area of 124,500 km². This includes an urban area of 72 km². Golmud is located in the central-south part of the Qaidam Basin with an elevation of 2,809 meters (9216 feet). Around the city are more than 20 salt lakes, big and small.

A large part of the county-level city of Golmud forms an exclave, separated from the rest of the county by the western "panhandle" of the Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Administratively, the exclave forms the so-called Tanggula Town.
