All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalagiri (AIIMS Mangalagiri or AIIMS-MG) is a medical research public higher education institute located in the Mangalagiri Tadepalle Municipal Corporation in Guntur District, in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is one of the four "Phase-IV" All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) announced in July 2014. It is located in proximity to the district headquarter Guntur.
