Chak Jhumra (Punjabi: چک جُھمرہ), is a town, railway junction, and Tehsil in Punjab, Pakistan. The town is situated around 21km (13miles) northeast of Faisalabad on Faisalabad-Sangla Hill Road. The Khanewal–Wazirabad Branch and Sangla Hill–Kundian Branch intersect in the town and connect it to Faisalabad and Sargodha respectively.[3]

Prior to the establishment of Pakistan, the town was known as a hub of the cotton trade. At the time, three cotton ginning factories operated within the town. Following the Partition of India, much of the town's Hindu population, of which many were traders, immigrated to India, briefly causing decline in business.

Beginning in the 1960s, the town began to again experience economic growth and development of infrastructure. At this time a number of schools, hospitals, and textile factories were constructed within the town.[4]

Today, textile manufacturing is the dominant industry within Chak Jhumra.
