Cigu District or Chiku is a rural district in the city of Tainan with about 21,441 inhabitants, situated on the westernmost point of the island of Taiwan.

The Cigu Lagoon is located in this township, and an ecological conservation area for black-faced spoonbills is situated on the estuary of the Zengwen River. It was a salt producing area, but now most of the salt products are imported from other counties.
