The Tenneru Formation (天寧層, Tenneru-sō), sometimes in older literature the Tenneru Conglomerate Member of the Chorobetsu Formation, is a geological formation in southeast Hokkaidō, Japan, in the area of Kushiro. Deposited between the Harutori Formation and Yūbetsu Formation in the Urahoro Group that unconformably overlies the Nemuro Group in the Nemuro Belt, the Tenneru Formation correlates with the Rushin Formation at its western end. The Formation, laid down in the Late Eocene, consists mainly of reddish and reddish brown conglomerate, with some sandstone and mudstone; there are several intercalated coal seams. New species of fauna described from the Tenneru Formation include the "Kushiro tapir" [ja] (Plesiocolopirus kushiroensis; protonym: Colodon kushiroensis), and of flora, Actinidia
