The Emblem of Telangana is the state emblem of Government of Telangana in South India. The arms has a Kakatiya Kala Thoranam in the middle, and Charminar inside it and bordered in green.

The emblem was designed by painter, Laxman Aelay. It was adopted on 2 June 2014 after the newly formed government headed by K. Chandrashekar Rao adopted it. It was the first file to be signed by him after swearing in. Initially Charminar was not included, but after the advice of Asaduddin Owaisi, (Hyderabad MP and president of AIMIM), it was adopted.

It consists of the Kakatiya Kala Thoranam and Charminar with Sarnath Lion Capital. It has "Government of Telangana" in English, "Telangana Sarkar" in Urdu and "Telangana Prabhutvam" in Telugu. Satyameva Jayate is written in Sanskrit.

The inscription "Sarnath Lion Capital" is mandated to have the words Satyameva Jayate right under it, as per the State Emblem of India (Prohibition of Improver Use) Act, 2005, which the new logo violated when it was first released.

The emblem was corrected with an amendment approved by the Government of Telangana on 25 June 2014 made by Laxman Aelay, by moving the Satyameva Jayate below the Sarnath Lion Capital, complying with the national norm.
