Kaduru, also known as Kadur, is a town in the district and a taluk in Chikmagalur district, in Karnataka. It lies in the eastern part of Chikmagalur district, which is a rain shadow region of Malenadu. Kadur is also well known for its Areca nut and Coconut production.

It is the second largest town in the district and also the former capital of Kadur district (Cuddoor district). The capital was moved to Chikmagalur in 1865, but the district name remained. Later in 1947, the district was renamed as Chikmagalur district.
