Komaram Bheem Asifabad is a district in the Indian state of Telangana. It was a part of the Adilabad district prior to the re-organisation of districts in the state.

In 1905, it was a district which was later merged into the Adilabad district. In 1913, it was made as headquarters prior to the status being lost to Adilabad in 1941. It has since been renamed after Gond martyr Kumram Bheem.

The district is spread over an area of 4,300 square kilometres (1,700 sq mi). It is home to endangered species of vultures which have made Palarapu rocks their home in the forests of Bejjur. The Sirpur forest is also home to tigers and other wild animals.

As of the 2011 Census, the district has a population of 592,831 people.[1]

This district has two revenue divisions; Asifabad and Kagaznagar and is sub-divided into 15 mandals. M.Champalal is the present collector of the district.
