Togoville is a town in southern Togo, lying on the northern shore of Lake Togo. It was originally known as Togo. The country took its name from the town when Gustav Nachtigal signed a treaty with the town's chief in 1884, from which Germany claimed overlordship over what became Togo.

The main features of the town are Togoville Cathedral, built in 1910 and a shrine to the Virgin Mary to mark where she is said to have appeared on 7 November in the early 1970s, but there are also numerous voodoo shrines and the former royal palace.
