The Telangana Gaddar Film Awards (TGFA) are annual film awards instituted in 2025 by the Government of Telangana. The awards are named after the Telugu poet and balladeer Gaddar. They are presented through the Telangana Film Development Corporation (TFDC) and recognise excellence in Telugu cinema in the years following the formation of the state of Telangana in 2014. These awards replace the Nandi Awards presented by the erstwhile Government of Andhra Pradesh.

The awardees are decided by an independent jury formed by the Telangana Film Development Corporation. The jury annually invites films for the award and the jury analyses the films that are submitted before deciding the winners.

The award has attracted criticism on its launch, including the naming of the award, the manner of selection of the winners by jury members, and conferring an award to a propaganda film on its inaugural edition.
