The Kūṭami (Telugu: కూటమి, lit.'Alliance') is a political coalition in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, officially established in 2024 as part of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The coalition comprises the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Janasena Party (JSP), and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Although the coalition was formally named "Kūṭami" in 2024, the three parties had previously collaborated during the 2014 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, where the TDP and BJP contested together while the JSP did not participate but extended support.

The formation of Kūṭami began on 14 September 2023, when the TDP and JSP announced their alliance, with the TDP subsequently re-joining the NDA on 9 March 2024. Earlier, JSP re-joined NDA on 16 January 2020. The name "Kūṭami" gained prominence during this period, signifying the renewed collaboration of these parties. The coalition achieved significant electoral success in 2024, winning 164 out of 175 seats in the 2024 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election and 21 out of 25 Lok Sabha seats in the state during the 2024 Indian general election in Andhra Pradesh.
