Tandridge is a local government district in Surrey, England. Its council offices are based in Oxted. It is named for an ancient Tandridge hundred of Surrey that covered roughly the same area.
The district was formed on 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, by the merger of Caterham and Warlingham urban district along with Godstone Rural District. Since 2000, parish councils once again cover the district.

[edit] Governance
Elections to Tandridge District Council are held in three out of every four years, with one third of the 42 seats on the council being elected at each election. From the first election in 1973 to 1990 the Conservative party controlled the council, but for most of the 1990s no party had a majority. This changed at the 2000 election when the Conservatives reclaimed a majority, which they have held since. As of the 2011 election the council is composed of the following councillors:-[2]
| Party | Councillors |

| Conservative Party | 34 | |
