Chandragiri Fort is a historical fort located in the Chandragiri near Tirupati, in Tirupati district of Andhra Pradesh, India. The fort, with its rectangular bastions and steep moat, was built during the reign of Immadi Narasimha Yadavaraya (1000 AD), who ruled from Narayanavanam. It is mostly associated with the Vijayanagara Emperors. Kapilendra Deva captured it in 1460 CE.
