Tianjara is a locality in the City of Shoalhaven in New South Wales, Australia.{{NSW GNR|id=abe5dd91-352c-4019-a2bf-97303d21f64c|title=Tianjara|accessdate=18 May 2023}}{{cite web|url=https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6076734#map=12/-35.1359/150.3033|publisher =OpenStreetMap|title=Tianjara|accessdate=5 May 2018}} It lies generally south of the Braidwood Road between Nowra and Nerriga. It is about 47 kilometres southwest of Nowra. Tianjara is fairly rugged sandstone country and largely consists of forest. Most of it lies within the Morton National Park or state forests.

Tianjara Falls is located in its north just north of the Braidwood Road, but is usually dry except after significant rain.{{Citation|title=Tianjara Falls after storm, NSW|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIY-e-fkZ_o|language=en|access-date=2021-06-08}} The falls are best seen from a viewpoint accessible from Braidwood Road, with a viewing platform located just on the eastern flank of the canyon. The ridge surrounding the falls was heavily burnt in the Australian bushfires of the summer 2019–2020.

Mount Tianjara lies in the far south, with an elevation of {{convert|768|m}} above sea level.

After 'The Wool Road' (now Braidwood Road) was built, there was to be a township near to Tianjara Falls. It was first surveyed in 1841{{Cite web|last=Larmer|first=James|date=27 July 1841|title=Tianjara Village site and design on new line of road from Narriga to Jervis Bay - County St Vincent - Surveyor General's Crown Plans 1792-1886 Item No: [5782]|url=https://records-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/fulldisplay?context=L&vid=61SRA&lang=en_US&docid=INDEX1478751|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-08-04|website=NSW State Archives & Records|language=en}}{{Cite news|date=1842-01-07|title=TOWNSHIP OF TIANJARA.|pages=13|work=New South Wales Government Gazette (Sydney, NSW : 1832 - 1900)|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article230660019|access-date=2019-01-17}} and again in 1856{{Cite news|date=1856-11-07|title=TIANJARA.|pages=2872|work=New South Wales Government Gazette (Sydney, NSW : 1832 - 1900)|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article228769444|access-date=2020-08-04}} but never eventuated.{{Cite news|date=1909-11-24|title=CANCELLATION OF DESIGN OF THE VILLAGE OF TIANJARA.|pages=6418|work=Government Gazette of the State of New South Wales (Sydney, NSW : 1901 - 2001)|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article226591221|access-date=2020-08-04}} At the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Tianjara had a population of none.{{Census 2016 AUS | id =SSC13858| name = Tianjara| quick = on | accessdate = 5 May 2018}}
