The Constitution of Talahara (Takelat: ⵇⴰⵏⵓⵏⵀⵍⵓ; Qanunhlu) is the supreme law of the Communes of Talahara. Drafted over a period of three years between 1838 and 1841, the first two parts of the constitution enshrined the rights and freedoms of all persons in Talahara, in addition to democratic and property rights. Part three of the constitution was completed later in 1841 and codified the roles of the three branches of government and divisions of power between national, regional, and communal levels of government.

Both laws created by the Legislative Councils of Talahara and the executive functions of government must abide by the protections and limitations enshrined by the constitution. Constitutional principles are also used alongside Talaharan customary legal principles to interpret laws.

The constitution has been amended a total of five times. These amendments include the addition of the third part, electoral reform, and the addition of new rights and protections. Constitutional amendments require the passage of a provision by a two-thirds supermajority in the Supreme Legislative Council (34 of 50 members) and subsequent ratification by a two-thirds supermajority by the membership of the 1,250 Communal Legislative Councils in Talahara (8,334 of 12,500 members).
