List of places named after C. N. Annadurai

Several places are named after Conjeevaram Natarajan Annadurai (15 September 1909 – 3 February 1969), popularly called Anna (“elder brother"), or Arignar Anna (Anna the scholar). He was a former Chief Minister of the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. He was the first member of a Dravidian party to hold that post and was also the first non-Congress leader to form a majority government in independent India.

However, he died of cancer just two years into office. Several institutions and organisations are named after him. A splinter party launched by M. G. Ramachandran in 1972 was named after him as ADMK (Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam).
