Teesta Bazaar is a junction on National Highway 31A on the Siliguri-Gangtok highway in the state of West Bengal, India. Teesta Bazaar is on the right bank of Teesta River. Continuing upriver on the right bank from Siliguri, the road leads to Darjeeling. The river is crossed here over the Teesta Suspension Bridge. A junction, three kilometres ahead on the same highway, splits from the main route towards Kalimpong. Teesta Bazaar is located four kilometres downstream from the industrial town of Melli.

Teesta Bazaar is situated at an elevation of 90 m above mean sea level. River rafting can be undertaken at this point. It is also at the point where the river Teesta flows into West Bengal. Most of the area around Teesta is patrolled by the Indian Army as it comes under a sensitive border area.
