Tejeda is a village and a municipality in the mountainous central part of the island of Gran Canaria in the province of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands.

The village of Tejeda is situated 6 km (4 mi) northwest of the Pico de las Nieves and 23 km (14 mi) southwest of the island capital, Las Palmas.

The municipality's area is 103.3 kmΒ² (39.9 sq mi), spreading near the centre of the island, on the latter's west side.

The south-eastern part of its territory includes the second-highest point of Gran Canaria island, Pico de las Nieves ("Snows Peak") - 1,949 m (6,394 ft).

Other remarkable summits in the municipality are Roque Nublo ("Cloud Rock") 813 m (2,667 ft) and Roque Bentayga ("Bentayga Rock") with its ritual place (almogarΓ©n) and other features.

Close by are the cuevas del Rey ("the King's caves", 1 km to the west of Rock Bentayga), an antique cave house village with granaries; and 2 km further west the antique cave house village of Acusa Seca.

All these sites are listed as Spanish Heritage as Properties of cultural interest ("Bien de InterΓ©s Cultural").
