The Tanjaro (), also spelled Tanjero, is a river in the Kurdistan Region in Iraq. It arises in Arbat Town near the city Sulaymaniyah through the confluence of the rivers Kiliasan and Kani-Ban and flows into the Darbandikhan Dam reservoir after 58 kilometers.

== Neolithic site of Bestansur == Bestansur is an archaeological site on the left bank of the river occupied during the Neolithic period. A sherd dated to 6500-6200 cal BC with an imprint of a possible fishing net has been found there, indicating the exploitation of riverine resources.
