Tengger (Mongolian: Тэнгэр, Mongolian: ᠲᠩᠷᠢ, lit. "sky"; simplified Chinese: 腾格尔; traditional Chinese: 騰格爾; pinyin: Ténggé'ěr; born 15 January 1960), also known as Tenger or Tengri, is a Mongolian singer, songwriter and composer from Inner Mongolia.

He is one of the most representative Mongol male singers as his most famous works, including songs Mongol and Tiantang (Heaven),[1] reflect the Mongolian culture, while he uses other elements later in his career, making his music a combination of various kinds of Chinese pop music.
