Parithi Ilamvazhuthi, also known as Parithi Ellamvazhuthi, (11 November 1959 – 13 October 2018) was an Indian politician.

Ilamvazhuthi completed his education to SSLC level at Wesley Higher Secondary School in Chennai before moving into political life. He was first elected to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly at the age of 25 when he defeated Sathyavani Muthu in the 1984 elections in the Perambur constituency. Subsequently, he was elected to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly on six consecutive occasions between 1989-2011, all from the Egmore constituency, which is reserved for candidates from the Scheduled Castes. A candidate for the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party during all of this time, he lost the Egmore seat in the 2011 assembly elections, when he was beaten by the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam candidate, K. Nalla Thambi.

Ilamvazhuthi was the Deputy Speaker in the 11th Assembly between 1996-2001 and was the Minister for Information Broadcasting and Publicity between 2006-2011. Referred as the Indrajit and Veera Abhimanyu of the DMK by its leader, Karunanidhi, for his performances as the Opposition Member of the Legislative Assembly during 1991-1996, Ilamvazhuthi served as the Deputy General Secretary of the DMK.

Ilamvazhuthi moved from the DMK to the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party on 28 June 2013 and was appointed as a Chief Executive Committee Member the next day.[1][2]
