Vangani is a town in Maharashtra, India near the city of Mumbai. It is serviced by the Vangani railway station on The Central Line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway on the Mumbai-Karjat route.

It has a waterfall called 'Bhagirath' to the east of the railway station during the monsoons. There is also a path from the Shankar Temple to ascend the Chanderi hill top from the wadi.

Vangani is known for plant nursery and masala (powdered spices).

Khagol Mandal, an association of amateur astronomers, conducts public sky observation sessions from Vangani on Saturdays.

Due to an upsurge in the population in nearby Badlapur and Ambernath people are moving towards Vangani for better living, as the climate is fresher and less polluted as compared to rest of the grown cities in this belt.
