Bejjanki is a village and a mandal in Karimnagar district in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India.

The Beijjanki Mandal is home to the famed Sri Lakshimi Narasimha Swamy temple, wherein the Mandal's largest Jathara is held every Summer. This temple is a prominent tourist attraction, especially for people from nearby villages, and cities such as Hydarabad and Mumbai.

Bejjanki Mandal is known for its beauty and the co-operative skills of the local villagers. In the early 1970s, there was a mass migration to this area from the Guntur district. Many of the immigrants began to grow cash crops, such as Mirchi and Cotton. Today, the village of Gudem employs approximately 500 agricultural laborers during the crop season.

The Mandal's political center is the village of Begampet. This village also holds an annual Jathara for the festival of Holi.

Ganneruvaram is the largest village in Bejjanki Mandal with a population of approximately 30,000. Ganneruvaram is also a centre of politics. The late MLA and CPI leader Sri J.Damodar Rao Garu and his son, J. Manmohan Rao (ZPTS), come from Ganneruvaram.
