Tamazula de Gordiano (also known as Tamazula) is a city in the Mexican state of Jalisco.

Tamazula is the seat of the municipality of the same name (Tamazula de Gordiano). The municipality is a territorial extension of 1324.48 Km². It is divided into 6 municipal delegations:

  1. La Garita
  2. Contla
  3. Vista Hermosa
  4. Morelos (Santa Rosa)
  5. Nigromante (San Juan de la Montaña)
  6. El Tulillo

Tamazula recently gained the city status after the 2000 census reported that the city had more than 20,000 residents. A vast majority of the city's residents are employed at the Ingenio de Tamazula, S.A. de C.V. where sugar cane from the surrounding vicinities within the municipality is turned into sugar and alcohol.

The "ingenio" (pronounced een-hæ-nee-o) as it's known by the people here is the major source of revenue for the city and the municipality as a whole, followed by tourism and trade.
