Tetecala is a city in the Mexican state of Morelos.
The city serves as the municipal seat for the surrounding municipality, with which it shares a name. The toponym Tetecala comes from a Nahuatl name and means "place of stone houses". The full name of the town is Tetecala de la Reforma because the Laws of the Reforma were signed there in the mid-19th century.
