Yogini Tantra is a 16th-century tantric text by an unknown author from Assam, India and dedicated to the worship of Hindu goddesses Kali and Kamakhya. Apart from religious and philosophical themes, this voluminous tantra contains some historical information.

The text is especially important for the vamachara form of tantric worship.

Date and Place

The Yogini Tantra was written in Assam in the 16th century. The date is determined from the reference to the 16th-century Koch dynasty (kuvacha), who are said to have been born to a Mech woman. Some authors place it in the 17th century.
