Rollapadu Wildlife Sanctuary is a wildlife sanctuary in the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh, India. Known primarily as a habitat of the Great Indian Bustard, the species has suffered a drastic fall in its numbers in the sanctuary in recent years. Rollapadu sanctuary is home to a varied set of faunal and avifaunal species. Foxes, jackals, bonnet macaques, jungle cats, sloth bears and black bucks have been reported at the sanctuary as also the Russell's viper, Indian cobra and rattlesnakes. It also houses 132 bird species with the Alganur reservoir near the sanctuary being a haunt for migratory species. Some of the bird species spotted at Rollapadu besides the bustard and the florican include Indian rollers, mynas, short toed snake eagles and migratory species such as barheaded geese, Demoiselle Cranes and Greater Flamingos.
