The Phandar (Ingush: Пандар, /pɑːnˈdʌr/; Chechen: Пхıандар, /phɑːnˈdʌr/) is a traditional Vainakhish three-string plucked instrument from Chechnya and Ingushetia in the Northern Caucasus.

The sound produced by the Phandar is similar to the Panduri, but it is easy to hear the difference between these two similar instruments.
