The '''Tungabhadra River''' ({{IPA|kn|t̪uŋɡɐbʱɐd̪rɐ|lang}}) starts and flows through the state of [[Karnataka]], India, during most of its course, then through [[Andhra Pradesh]], and ultimately joins the [[Krishna River]] near Murvakonda in [[Andhra Pradesh]].

The river Tungabhadra derives its name from two streams, the Tunga, about {{convert|147|km|mi|abbr=on}} long, and the Bhadra, about {{convert|178|km|mi|abbr=on}} long, which rise in the Western Ghats(Sahyadri mountains). The river after the confluence of the two streams in Koodali near Shimoga runs for about {{convert|531|km|mi|abbr=on}} till it joins the river Krishna at Sangamaleshwaram in Andhra Pradesh. It runs for {{convert|382|km|mi|abbr=on}} in Karnataka, forms the boundary between Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh for {{convert|58|km|mi|abbr=on}} and further runs for the next {{convert|91|km|mi|abbr=on}} in Andhra Pradesh. The total catchment area of the river is {{convert|69,552|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}} up to its confluence with the Krishna and it is {{convert|28,177|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}} up to [[Tungabhadra Dam]]. It is influenced chiefly by the South-West monsoon. It is a perennial river, but the summer flows dwindle to as low as 2.83 to 1.42 cumec (100 to 50 cusec).<ref>{{Cite web |title=TUNGABHADRA RIVER {{!}} TUNGABHADRA BOARD |url=https://tbboard.gov.in/tungabhadra-river/ |access-date=2018-08-18 |website=tbboard.gov.in |language=en-US}}</ref>
