Thirumudi N. Sethuraman (Tamil: திருமுடி.ந.சேதுராமன்) (24 January 1923 - 23 December 1979) was an Indian politician. He participated in the Indian independence movement. In 1946, he made a turning point in the history of the freedom movement in Puducherry (then called Pondicherry) by forming the French India National Congress along with J. Savarinathan, Ambadi Narayanan, Govinda Pathar and M. A. Annamalai.[3] It was succeeded by French India Students Congress.[4] He is affectionately known as T. N. Sethuraman Chettiar. He served as the Deputy Mayor of Pondicherry. In 1967, he was elected as the Member of Parliament from Puducherry (Lok Sabha constituency).[5] He ran again in 1971, but lost to Mohan Kumaramangalam.

He was a scholar and a great philanthropist but also a man of simplicity. Notably, he was the political guru for many of the present politicians of Puducherry.[citation needed]

To honor him, a street was named after him. [citation needed]
