Tenta is one of the woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Debub Wollo Zone, Tenta is bordered on the south by Legambo, on the southwest by Sayint, on the west by Magdala, on the north by the Bashilo River which separates it from Semien Wollo Zone, on the northeast by Amba Sel, on the east by Kutaber and on the southeast by Dessie Zuria. The administrative center of this woreda is Ajebar; other towns in Tenta include Amba Mariam (the site of Emperor Tewodros's last stand), and Tenta.
Tenta lies the northern slopes of Mount Amba Ferit, stretching down to the left bank of the Bashilo. Altitudes range from 600 meters above sea level where the Bashilo leaves the woreda to 3700 meters in the southwest corner. Rivers include the Adala and the Kulkul, which drain into the Bashilo.

A notable landmark in this town is the church dedicated to St. Michael, which was constructed at the patronage of Negus Mikael around 1899, who made this town his headquarters. It is unusual for having three altars: one dedicated to St. Michael, another to St. Tekle Haymanot, and the third to the Holy Trinity. Three different masses are said to be celebrated simultaneously in this church. In a nearby mausoleum Negus Mikael is buried with his second wife Zennebech and two sons by his first wife, Ali and Desta.
