The Cochin State Manual was a 1911 CE publication of the erstwhile Kingdom of Cochin, detailing the social, economic, and historical conditions of the state.
It was compiled by C. Achutha Menon (1862-1937), secretary to the Devaswom of Cochin, and bore close similarity to the district manuals and gazetteers of the British Raj.
