Tartaras is a commune in the Loire department in central France.
It is in the Gier valley just north of the river, between Rive-de-Gier to the west and Saint-Romain-en-Gier to the east.
The village dates back to the Roman era. Gallo-Roman sarcophagi are still visible in the town. During the 19th century Tartaras was in the heart of a coal basin.
