Tamba (丹波国; -no kuni) was an Old Province of Japan that included both the central part of modern Kyoto Prefecture and the east-central part of Hyogo Prefecture . Tamba bordered on Harima , Omi , Settsu , Tajima , Tango , Wakasa , and Yamashiro Province s.

The ancient provincial capital is believed to be in the area of modern Kameoka . Ruled by a succession of minor daimyo, the region was conquered by Oda Nobunaga and assigned to his general Akechi Mitsuhide (who later assassinated him).
