Nedunkilli (Tamil: நெடுங்கிள்ளி ; Middle Tamil: Nedunkilli Cōḻaṉ; Classical Sanskrit: Nedunkilli Cōla; c. 450 BCE[3] – c. 405 BCE) was a Tamil king of the Early Cholas from the region of Tamilakam mentioned in Sangam Literature. Nedunkilli was mentioned in context with a civil war between him and another Chola Nalankilli. The only extant information on him is from the fragmentary poems of Sangam.
