Tandur is a town in Vikarabad District in the Indian State of Telangana. It is a Municipality as well as Headquarters of Tandur Mandal in Tandur Revenue Division. It is known for Lime Stone Industries, Cement Industries and Redgram (Pigeon Pea) production. Drinking water is sourced from the River Kagna, tributary to Bhima River, which is 4 km from the town.

Tandur has a very different History, as some sources say that during the battle between the Qutub Shahi Dynasty and Mughal Empire the army of Mughal Empire passed through Tandur to besiege of Golconda Fort of Hyderabad. It is thought that the Nizams of Hyderabad used to visit Tandur for hunting. A local grandee, Yusuf Seth used to arrange a grand welcome to the Nizam of Hyderabad. The rich vegetation and varied wildlife were an attraction, but now deforestation has denuded the wildlife. The old houses of Tandur city were built of mud walls and stones slabs on wooden supports. The railway track divides old and new Tandur. There are still some remnants of the fortification of Tandur during the period of Nizam of Hyderabad known as ""Naubath Khana"" situated in the Old Tandur Inside Gadi.
