Tuntange (Luxembourgish: Téinten, German: Tüntingen) is a commune and small town in western Luxembourg, in the canton of Mersch.

As of 2005, the town of Tuntange, which lies in the west of the commune, has a population of 580. Other towns within the commune include Ansembourg, Bour, Hollenfels and Marienthal.

The arms were granted on January 25, 1983.

The field with its single charge, a buckle, is derived from the arms of the Lords of Hollenfels, as the village was part of the Hollenfels Estate. The chief symbolizes the three castles in the municipality; the Hollenfels Castle and the Old Castle of Ansembourg and New Castle of Ansembourg.
