Çelebi is a city and a district in the Turkish province of Kırıkkale . The city is located about 40 kilometers south of the provincial capital Kırıkkale . Artifacts from the Bronze Age and the Byzantine period were found on the Sarımusalı Höyüğü settlement mound near Halildede in the southwest .

The newly formed district in 1990 is located in the south of the province. It is bordered by Karakeçili County to the northwest , Keskin to the northeast, Kırşehir Province to the south, and Ankara Province to the southwest . The D-260 road runs through the district and connects Karakeçili in the northwest with Kaman in the southeast. Another road connects the main town with Keskin in the north. The Kızılırmak flows through the district and forms the western border with Karakeçili.
