A two-story municipal-style building with a deep red facade and white trim stands under a cloudy sky. The front of the building features a row of six large arches supported by cream-colored columns, creating a shaded walkway at ground level. Above the arches, the second floor has five evenly spaced windows, each with black iron railings, and two central windows open onto small balconies. At the top center of the building, there is a circular emblem or seal with a green and gold design. Several large potted plants line the walkway in front of the arches, adding greenery to the scene. A few people are visible: one person stands on a balcony, another is near the entrance below, and a third is walking under the arches. The street in front of the building is empty, and trees and a white wall can be seen in the background to the left. — Palacio municipal de Tekom, Yucatán.

Tekom Municipality is a municipality in the Mexican state of Yucatán. Tekom is also the name of the municipality's largest settlement and seat of the municipal government (cabecera municipal). In the XII national census (Censo General de Población y Vivienda) conducted by INEGI in 2000, Tekom municipality recorded a population of 2,660 inhabitants. In the intermediate census count undertaken by INEGI in 2005 (the II Conteo de Población y Vivienda), the total municipal population was recorded as 2,933 inhabitants, 2,413 of whom spoke one of the recognised indigenous languages of Mexico (Yucatec Maya).

The municipality is located in the southeastern portion of the state in the north-central Yucatán Peninsula, and covers a total area of some 201.83 km2. The terrain is a virtually flat plain, with a median elevation of 27 m above mean sea level. As with most of the Yucatán Peninsula there are no surface rivers or creeks, but there are subterranean water-filled sinkholes (cenotes) some of which are naturally exposed at the surface. Average annual rainfall, which is regular in the summer months, amounts to approximately 82 mm. The climate is classed as subhumid.

Tekom was created as a municipio libre of Yucatán state on 1 January 1920. In 1957 the southern half of Tekom's territory was partitioned off to form a new municipality, Chikindzonot.
