Sectorul Ciocana is one of the five sectors in Chişinău, the capital of Moldova. The local administration is managed by a pretor appointed by the city administration. It governs over a portion of the city of Chişinău itself (the eastern part), the town of Vadul lui Vodă, and the communes of Bubuieci, Budeşti, Coloniţa, Cruzeşti and Tohatin. It is largely populated by Moldovans. The name of the sector comes from the name of the former village of Ciocana Nouă, included in the borders of Chisinau only in 1959.
In the Ciocana sector there are 10750 registered economic agents. Ciocana is considered one of the most industrialized sectors of Chisinau.
