Tuol Kouk (TK; Central Khmer: ទួលគោក in Central Khmer pronounced as /tuəl koːk/; meaning "Dry Hill") is a section (khan) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Tuol Kouk is well known for the large villas in its northern part of the district and is where most Cambodian elites reside. This district is subdivided into 10 sangkats and 143 villages. The district has an area of 7.99 km2. After boundary changes, its population has decreased to 145,570.[1]

The ministries of Defense, Rural Development, Women's Affairs, and a variety of commercial enterprises are located along the main roads of the district.
