Anchuthengu ("Five Coconut Palms"), formerly known as Anjengo, Angengo or Anjenga,[1] is a coastal panchayath and town in the Thiruvananthapuram District of Kerala.

The town contains old Dutch-style churches, a lighthouse, a 100-year-old convent and school, tombs of Dutch and British sailors and soldiers, and the remains of the Anchuthengu Fort.

Kaikara village, the birthplace of the famous Malayalam poet Kumaran Asan, is located nearby.

In 1728 Anjengo was the birthplace of Robert Orme (1728–1801), historiographer of the East India Company, and in 1744 of Eliza Draper who would become a muse and correspondent of Laurence Sterne.

[1] In the 19th century, the town remained known for its excellent ropes (manufactured from the local palms) and also exported pepper, homespun cotton cloth, and drugs.
