Tandragee is a village on the Cusher River in County Armagh, Northern Ireland.
Overlooking the village is Tandragee Castle. Originally an Irish stronghold, it was taken over by the English during the Plantation of Ulster and rebuilt in about 1837 by George Montagu, 6th Duke of Manchester. Today, Tandragee is most famous because it houses the famous Tayto crisp factory.
