Tantobie is a former colliery village in County Durham, England. It is situated 2 miles to the northwest of Stanley and the same distance to the north of Annfield Plain.
Older maps of the area show the village under the name "Tantovy".{{Cite web|title=18th Century map of County Durham|url=https://biblio.unibe.ch/web-apps/maps/zoomify.php?pic=Ryh_1810_48.jpg&col=ryh}} The etymology is doubtful: it looks as if it ends in Old Norse by "village", "farm", like Lockerbie and Formby, but the meaning is uncertain.
To the east is a small housing estate named 'Sleepy Valley', which is close to the village of Tanfield.
