El Khandaq is a town in northern Sudan on the River Nile.
It is the site of an important fortress with beginnings dating to the Christian period. During the 19th-century (Turkiyya) the town expanded much beyond the fortress to become one of the places with something like urban institutions in Northern Sudan, although it is now largely depopulated.
