Chalan-Pago-Ordot is a municipality in the American island of Guam containing the villages of Chalan-Pago and Ordot. Ordot is named after the Chamorro word for the Hibiscus flower. The neighboring village of Chalan Pago means "road to Pago" named after the path from Hagåtña to the Spanish village at Pago Bay. The residential community's population is 90% Chamorro.

In World War II, the Japanese used the area as a supply depot during their occupation of the island. Ordot is also the site of the controversial Ordot Landfill, first constructed by the U.S. Navy, but now full and in violation of EPA regulations.
