Edayilakkad (also spelled Edayilakkadu or Edayilekkadu, is a marshy island situated in Valiyaparamba Panchayath, Kasaragod district, Kerala, India.

It is located in the Kavvayi Backwaters, a long, almost isolated, arm of the Arabian Sea.

Although it wasn't inhabited until the early 1900s, feudal Lingayats of the Vijayanagara Empire once controlled the region.

Due to its width, Edayilakkad is one of the largest islands in the northern parts of Kerala.

[4][failed verification] Edayilakkad is biodiverse,[5] including being a nesting area for the state endangered white-bellied sea eagle,[6][7][8] and home to Nervilia orchids.
