P. G. N. Unnithan (1898 – 5 April 1965) was the last diwan (prime minister) of independent Travancore. He succeeded C. P.

He chaired the Travancore Constitutional Reforms Committee. He relinquished office on 24 March 1948 when people's government led by Pattom Thanu Pillai as prime minister took over.[1]
