Telkibánya is a village in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, in the Northern Hungary region of northeastern Hungary.

Telkibánya was a mining town during the 15th century, known for its gold and silver deposits. Its prosperity declined after a mining accident in the 17th century, but the area's natural environment and hiking trails make it a popular spot for recreation.
