N. N. Krishnadas (born 12 March 1959) was a member of the 12th, 13th and 14th Lok Sabha of India. He represented the Palakkad constituency of Kerala and is a state committee member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist).

During the 2008 Mumbai attacks he was a victim of hostage situation at Mumbai's Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. He was taken to Azad Nagar police station where he was interviewed by The Telegraph regarding his ordeal there. Krishnadas has told the newspaper that two masked men ran in with machine guns as he was about to order from the menu in the restaurant which was part of a hotel. He ducked under the table, and spent time there in fear and shock, until the employee told him and other visitors about the emergency exit. He was liberated around 8:30 am. Before that, he also witnessed how two foreigners, who tried to escape, got gunned down by the attackers and even heard an explosion.{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/1081128/jsp/nation/story_10176879.jsp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180311203257/https://www.telegraphindia.com/1081128/jsp/nation/story_10176879.jsp|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 March 2018|title=MP ducks under table|work=The Telegraph|author=Jayanth, Jacob|date=28 November 2008|accessdate=11 March 2018}}{{cite news |last1=The New Indian Express |first1= |title=Krishnadas rescued |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2008/Nov/28/krishnadas-rescued-2916.html |accessdate=2 August 2024 |date=14 May 2012 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20240802064458/https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/2008/Nov/28/krishnadas-rescued-2916.html |archivedate=2 August 2024 |language=en}}
