Chitradurga district is an administrative district of Karnataka state in southern India. The city of Chitradurga is the district headquarters.

The whole district lies in the valley of the Vedavati River, with the Tungabhadra River flowing in the northwest. During the British times it was named Chitaldroog. The district was practically ruled by all the well known dynasties that ruled Karnataka.
