The Tamil Nadu Legislature is the unicameral legislature of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The Legislature is composed of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly and the state's governor.

Until 1 November 1986, the Tamil Nadu Legislature was a bicameral legislature which included the Tamil Nadu Legislative Council as the upper house, with the Legislative Assembly being the lower house.

In 2010, the erstwhile Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government took steps to revive the Tamil Nadu Legislative Council and convert the legislature back into a bicameral one, but the administration lost power before completing the transition. The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government which assumed power in 2011 expressed its intent not to revive the Legislative Council.
