The State of Teng (Chinese: 滕國; pinyin: Ténggúo, ca. 1046 BC – 414 BC) was a small Chinese state that existed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of Chinese Antiquity. It was located in the south of modern-day Shandong province. Its territory is now the county-level city of Tengzhou.
The ancestral name of Teng's ruling family was Ji; its founder was the 14th brother of King Wu of Zhou. The state was conquered and annexed by the State of Yue during the reign of King Goujian of Yue (reigned 496 BC – 465 BC).
The small state of Teng was a vassal of State of Lu and is famed as the birthplace of the Chinese philosopher Mozi (Micius) and architect Lu Ban. The name of the state survives in both the city of Tengzhou and the Chinese surname Teng.
