Kolezhuthu (Malayalam: കോലെഴുത്ത്, romanized: Kōlezhuthu), is a syllabic alphabet used in Kerala for writing the Malayalam language.

[2] Kolezhuthu developed from the Vatteluttu script in the post-Chera Perumal period (c. 12th century onwards).

[2] It was used by certain Keralite communities (such as Hindus, Muslims and Christians).

Kōl in modern Malayalam refers to a stylus or 'elongated stick-like object', and ezhuthu means 'written form'.
