Bornadi Wildlife Sanctuary (Template:Lang-as) is a Template:Convert wildlife sanctuary situated on the foothills of Himalayas bordering Bhutan in the north and in Udalguri district & Baksa District of Assam, India.

The sanctuary was established in 1980 to protect the hispid hare (Caprolagus hispidus) and pigmy hog (Porcula salvania). Pretty approachable at about 11 km out of library point, the sanctuary is home to many birds such as The White Capped Water Redstart and the Red Billed Blue Magpie.
