Kattangoor is a village and mandal located along National Highway 9 in Nalgonda district of Telangana, India. It lies on National Highway 9 between Narketpally and Nakrekal. Nalgonda city lies to the south of Kattangoor.

Prior to the annexation of Hyderabad State by India, Muslims formed a significant portion of Kattangoor's population and Kattangoor was a strong centre for Razakars.[1] Along with neighbouring Nakrekal village, Kattangoor was captured from Hyderabad State by the Indian Army's Punjab Regiment on 17 September 1948.[2]
