The Tanûkhids or Tanukh are a confederation of Arab tribes, sometimes characterized as Saracens.

They first rise to prominence in northern Arabia and south of Syria in the third century BCE.

Both Lakhmid and Tanukhid inscriptions will be found at Umm el-Jimal in Jordan and Namara in Syria.

The ancient Tanukhi tribal confederation is largely taken over by several branches of the large Azd and Quda'a tribe.
