Çetinkaya is a village in the Kangal district of the Sivas Province in Turkey. It is located along the Ankara-Kars railway and is near the Çetinkaya junction, where the Çetinkaya-Malatya railway diverges south. As of 2016, Çetinkaya has a population of 1,205.[1] Between 1960 and 2011, the population was in a constant drop from about 4,000 inhabitants in 1960 to 1,477 inhabitants in 2011, a 63% decrease. Due to its population decrease, the town was relegated to a village in the early 2010s.[2]

The village is located just north of the D.260 state highway and Çetinkaya station is serviced by intercity trains from Ankara[3][4][5] (temporarily Irmak) to Kars,[3] Kurtalan,[4] and Tatvan,[5] as well as regional trains from Sivas[6] to Divriği.[6]
