Periya Negamam (also known as Negamam) is a panchayat town in Coimbatore district in the southern Indian State of Tamil Nadu. It comes under Pollachi Taluk and pollachi Assembly constituency. Negamam used to be a popular small town serving the commercial and transport needs of many small villages around it until 1980s. With the arrival of frequent city buses to Pollachi and Udumalpet as transportation mode, growth of Negamam remained stunted. Weekly market on Tuesday used to be a big crowd puller.
