Tarkasaṃgrahaṭīkā (तर्कसंग्रहटीका) is a commentary on the Tarkasaṃgraha which is ascribed to Anantanārāyaṇa.—The Tarkasaṃgraha of Annaṃbhaṭṭa is a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the ancient Indian system of logic and reasoning. It’s language is easily understandable and is meant primarily to unlock the doors of the twin-darśana of Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika. There are about twenty five commentaries [viz., the Tarkasaṃgraha-ṭīkā] both traditional and modern on this treatise which undoubtedly establishes the importance of Tarkasaṃgraha.

Tarkasaṃgrahaṭīkā is also the name of other commentaries on the Tarkasaṃgraha ascribed respectively to Gaurīkānta, to Rāmanātha, to Viśvanātha Hanumāna (son of Vyāsa).
