Kudankulam is a town in the Tirunelveli district in Tamil Nadu, India. It is 20 km northeast of Kanyakumari, 30 km from Nagercoil, 70 km from Tirunelveli and about 105 km from Thiruvananthapuram.

The town is notable as the construction site of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant. It is also the location of hundreds of windmills used for power generation, eight of which are on the grounds of the nuclear plant. These wind turbines have a total capacity of 2000 MW and represent one of the largest wind farms in India.{{cite web |author=collective, 01:53 PM |url=http://www.thesouthasian.org/archives/2007/koodankulam_must_be_a_symbol_o.html |title=Koodankulam Must be a Symbol of Prosperity |publisher=The South Asian |date=13 May 2007 |accessdate=26 March 2012 |archive-date=1 May 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120501204825/http://www.thesouthasian.org/archives/2007/koodankulam_must_be_a_symbol_o.html |url-status=dead }}
