Kathua (kəˈθʊə) (Dogri/Pahari/Hindi: कठुआ) is a city and a Municipal Council in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The word "Kathua" is derived from the word "Thuan" in Dogri which means "Scorpions".

Kathua is also called 'the city of Sufis' owing to the presence of large number of Sufi Shrines of Peers.
