Yoncatepe (Turkish: Yoncatepe, lit. 'Clover Hill', also known as Van–Yoncatepe) is a pre-Urartian Iron Age archaeological site in what is now Van Province, Turkey. Situated in the foothills of Mount Erek, 9 km (5.6 mi) southeast of the city of Van, the site consists of a central fortress or acropolis atop a large conical hill, with a lower settlement and necropolis to the north.
