Chitorri is the historic ancestral graveyard of the Talpur Mirs of Mirpur Khas in Sindh, Pakistan. The graveyard is located in the Mirpur Khas District, about 22 kilometers northeast of Mirpur Khas town.

The sandstone tombs built by Talpur rulers over the graves of their elders are the finest examples of Sindh's architecture prevalent in 17th and 18th century.[1] The shrines combine elements of Islamic and native Rajasthani architecture.[2]
